This work investigates epoxy composites reinforced by randomly oriented, short glass fibres and silica microparticles. A full-factorial experiment evaluates the effects of glass fibre mass fraction (15 and 20 wt%) and length (5 and 10 mm), and the mass fraction of silica microparticles (5 and 10 wt%) on the apparent density and porosity, as well as the compressive and tensile strength and modulus of the hybrid composites. Hybrid epoxy composites present significantly higher tensile strength (9%) and modulus (57%), as well as compressive strength (up to 15%) relative to pure epoxy.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of fibre weight fraction on flexural and dynamic mechanical properties of Arenga pinnata fibre and its hybrid epoxy composites. In this work, four (4) composites configurations were fabricated using hand lay-out by varying fibre weight ratios between Arenga pinnata (AP) and glass fibre (GF); AP100% - 0%GF, AP70% - 30%GF, AP30% - 70%GF and AP0% - 100%GF, respectively. The flexural modulus indicates that the pure Arenga pinatta composites (AP100%-0%GF) are stronger than both hybrid and pure glass fibre composites (AP0%-100%GF). Increasing fibre weight fraction of glass fibre has resulted lower flexural properties. By dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), storage modulus of pure Arenga pinnata composites is always higher and have better thermal resistance as compared to the pure glass fibre composites. The result indicates that that Arenga pinatta fibre reinforced with epoxy composites have a great opportunity similar to that glass fibres composites counterpart in engineering application.

Fibre Orientation Distribution

The fibre orientation and distribution in short glass fibre (SGF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were measured and an orientation function ( f) was introduced to describe the fibre orientation distribution. The fibre orientation distribution in the same level plane depended on the fibre position in an injection-moulded plate. The fibres close to the boundary wall of the injection cavity were parallel to the injection direction and those close to the back wall were perpendicular to the injection direction. A commercial maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) was used as a compatibilizer. With the addition of MAPP, the fibre orientation distribution in PP/SGF/MAPP composites was slightly different from that of PP/SGF, but MAPP improved the interfacial adhesion between SGF and PP and consequently the mechanical properties. The use of SGF increased the tensile strength of the PP composites from 26.5 to 45.9 MPa (73% improvement), and for the PP/MAPP/SGF composite the tensile strength increased further to 55.4 MPa. The effect of SGF on the tensile strength can be expressed by a fibre efficiency factor (λσ). The SGF efficiency factor of PP/MAPP/SGF (0.198) was 45% higher than that of PP/SGF (0.137). The impact strength of PP/MAPP/SGF (64.7 MPa) was not only higher than that of PP/SGF (40.8 MPa) by 59% but also higher than that of PP (48.3 MPa) by 34%.

The limited shelf life of carbon prepreg waste (CPW) from component manufacturing restricts its use as a composite reinforcement fibre on its own. However, CPW can be recycled with glass fibre (GF) reinforcement to develop a unique remediate material. Therefore, this study fabricated (1) a glass fibre-carbon prepreg waste reinforced polymer hybrid composite (GF-CPW-PP), (2) a polypropylene composite (PP), (3) a carbon prepreg waste reinforced composite (CPW-PP), and (4) a glass fibre reinforced composite (GF-PP) and reported their degradation and residual tension properties after immersion in water. The polymer hybrid composites were fabricated via extrusion technique with minimum reinforce glass-carbon prepreg waste content of 10 wt%. The immersion test was conducted at room temperature using distilled water. Moisture content and diffusion coefficient (DC) were determined based on water adsorption values recorded at 24-h intervals over a one-week period. The results indicated that GF-PP reinforced composites retained the most moisture post-168 h of immersion. However, hardness and tensile strength were found to decrease with increased water adsorption. Tensile strength was found to be compromised since pores produced during hydrolysis reduced interfacial bonding between glass fibre and prepreg carbon reinforcements and the PP matrix.
