AbstractThis investigation is carried out to understand the effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid phenol formaldehyde (PF) composite fabricated with Areca Fine Fibres (AFFs) and Calotropis Gigantea Fibre (CGF). Hybrid CGF/AFF/PF composites were manufactured using the hand layup technique at varying weight percentages of fibre reinforcement (25, 35 and 45%). Hybrid composite having 35 wt.% showed better mechanical properties (tensile strength ca. 59 MPa, flexural strength ca. 73 MPa and impact strength 1.43 kJ/m2) under wet and dry conditions as compared to the other hybrid composites. In general, the inclusion of the fibres enhanced the mechanical properties of neat PF. Increase in the fibre content increased the water absorption, however, after 120 h of immersion, all the composites attained an equilibrium state.

Abstract The main objective and the originality of this work are to create a hybrid-natural fibre composite by the RMS method. Hybrid composites are manufactured by combining two or more dissimilar kinds of fibre in a single matrix. In the first section, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using a Box-Behnken experimental design and the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are applied to investigate the effects of the type of fibres, chemical treatment, volume fraction and treatment time on the mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength and Young’s modulus) in the tensile quasi-static loading when used two resins namely, epoxy and polyester. In the studied range, statistical analysis of the results showed that selected variables had a significant effect on the mechanical properties, except the treatment time that has a very weak significance effect on the mechanical properties. Then, to maximize the mechanical properties, the optimal conditions coded by RSM were found: the type of fibres (X 1 ) of [-0.28 and -0.33], the chemical treatment (X 2 ) of -1, the volume fraction of fibre (X 3 ) of 1 and the treatment duration (X 4 ) of [-0.97 and -1] for epoxy resin matrix. Similarly, when used the polyester resin matrix; the type of fibres (X 1 ) of -0.26, the chemical treatment (X 2 ) of -1, the volume fraction (X 3 ) of 0.99 and the sinking time (X 4 ) of [-0.94 and -0.93]. The obtained optimum parameters were confirmed experimentally in the second section

In this work, a comparative analysis of the mechanical and thermal properties of polyester and epoxy single and hybrid natural fibre-reinforced composites was performed. Pure jute, jute + curauá and jute + sisal composites with two distinct thermoset polymer resins (an epoxy and a polyester) were produced. Tensile, flexural and impact tests were carried out, in accordance to ASTM standards, to investigate and compare the mechanical properties of the composites as a function of matrix and hybridization. In addition, a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to complete the comparative analysis of the thermal properties. Finally, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the fracture surface of the tested specimens. It was found that the hybridization process improved the mechanical properties of the non-hybrid jute fibre based composites for both matrices used. The resin used as matrix plays an important role on the mechanical properties of the composites. The epoxy matrix based composites presented higher tensile strength, while the polyester based composites presented higher tensile and flexural stiffness as well as higher impact energy, when compared to the epoxy-based composite. TGA analysis showed that the thermal stability of epoxy-based composites was higher compared to the polyester-based composites.

Hybrid natural fibre polymer composites have attracted attention of research community owing to their better mechanical properties as compared to conventional materials. Besides being inexpensive, natural fibres are eco-friendly in nature. In past literature, abaca has shown tremendous potential for its suitability in structural applications. Present work deals with mechanical characterization and modelling of hybrid abaca epoxy composites with red mud as filler. Hybrid composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique. Experiments were designed based on full factorial method having three control parameters, namely weight percentage of abaca (2.6, 5.26 and 7.9 wt%), weight percentage of red mud (4, 8 and 12 wt%) and particle size of red mud (68, 82 and 98 µm). Flexural and impact strength of composites were evaluated. Mathematical models for flexural and impact strength of hybrid abaca composites were developed using response surface method. Developed models for mechanical properties of composite were analysed using analysis of variance to recognize the significance of control parameters or input variables on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. Moreover, interaction effects of input variables on flexural and impact strength of hybrid composites were also investigated. Developed model also enables us to predict mechanical properties of hybrid composites.

Natural fibre-based thermoset composites are generally lower in strength performance compared to synthetic thermoset composites. Hybridization with some amount of synthetic fibre enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. This study focused on the performance of mechanical properties of hybrid banana/glass fibre reinforced polyester composites. Hybrid composites with different volume ratios of banana to glass fibre were prepared. The reinforcing effect of both fibres in polyester is also evaluated in various fibre loadings. Results showed that both flexural and tensile properties have been improved with the increasing level of overall fibre content loading. Tensile and flexural strength shows great enhancement by the introduction of a slight amount of glass fibre to the banana fibre polyester matrix.

Stacking Sequence

Recently, the most critical issue related to the use of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC) is the degradation properties of composites exposed to the environment. NFRPC’s moisture absorption behaviour has adverse effects on the composite’s mechanical properties and dimensional stability. The purpose of this study is to analyse the mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced by jute–ramie hybridisation. This study also analysed the effect of stacking sequence hybridisation of the jute–ramie composite on water absorption behaviour. A five-layer different type of stacking sequence of single and hybrid jute–ramie is produced with the hand lay-up method. The results obtained from this study found that the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviour of a single jute fibre are lower compared to a single ramie fibre. The hybrid of jute–ramie has been able to increase the performance of composite compared to pure jute composites. The mechanical properties of the hybrid jute–ramie composite show a reduction effect after exposure to an aqueous environment due to the breakdown of fibre matrix interfacial bonding. However, after 28 days of immersion, all types of the stacking sequence’s mechanical properties are still higher than that of pure epoxy resin. In conclusion, the appropriate sequence of stacking and selecting the material used are two factors that predominantly affect the mechanical properties and water absorption behaviour. The hybrid composites with the desired and preferable properties can be manufactured using a hand-lay-up technique and used in the various industrial applications.
