This study was aimed to investigate the effect of modified coconut wood flour and maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene addition in tensile strength and flexural strength of hybrid composite. Modification of coconut wood flour was also done to reduce the polarity. The hybrid composites were prepared by mixing method into an extruder. Glass Fiber Flour and maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene composition were made constant at 10 wt.% and 2 wt.% respectively and modified coconut wood flour composition was varied from 10 - 40 wt.%. Tensile test and flexural test were done. The results showed that addition of 20 wt.% modified coconut wood flour had given maximum tensile strength of 24,1 MPa and addition of 30 wt.% modified coconut wood flour had given maximum flexural strength of 31,2 MPa also inclination of both tensile and flexural strength of hybrid composite using maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene.

Phenolic based PALF/nanoclay hybrid composites was prepared by adding Montmorillonite (MMT) as filler at different loading (1%, 2% and 3%) by using hot press technique. Obtained results indicated that adding MMT in PALF/phenolic composites considerably improves the tensile and flexural strength and modulus. Tensile properties showed that the tensile strength increased after adding MMT though tensile modulus decreased. Flexural strength and modulus were enhanced after adding MMT up to 2%, further addition of MMT declined the properties. 2% MMT showed better tensile and flexural properties. 3% MMT/PALF hybrid composite showed no further improvement in tensile properties after 2% MMT, however the flexural properties were reduced. 3% MMT did not improved much maybe agglomeration accrued. PALF/nanoclay/phenolic hybrid composites revealed good mechanical properties that encourage to use for structural purposes.

This study uses carbon fibers (CF) to reinforce polylactic acid (PLA) matrices to form CF/PLA biocomposites. Tensile test, flexural test, and impact test are performed on biocomposites to evaluate their mechanical properties. The results of tests show that an increment of the CF content results in an increase in tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength. The combination of 15 wt% CF provides the resulting biocomposites with a 72 % increase in tensile strength, a 322 % increase in flexural modulus, and a 96 % increase in impact strength.

Abstract: In the current study, flexural strength of combination of natural and synthetic fiber with particle filled hybrid composites have been studied. The flexural strength of the hybrid composite mainly depends on the proportion of the sisal fiber weight, glass fiber weight and alumina weight. Taguchi technique has been applied to find the optimized parameters of the developed hybrid composites. Results were obtained for the L9 orthogonal combination from experimentation. The results were analysed with the help of Signal/Noise (S/N) Ratio, Main effect plot and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Mini Tab 19. Regression equation are developed for all three reinforcements separately. From the current study it was observed that the flexural strength of the hybrid composite mainly depends on the sisal fiber precent that the other two reinforcements. Based on the experimental observations the maximum ultimate flexural strength was found to be 145.97 MPa for optimised input parameters as 20% of sisal fiber, 20% of glass fiber and 2% of alumina.

In this study, Wood Dust (WD)/Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) and Coir Pith (CP)/PF composites were hybridized with the Prosopis Juliflora Fiber (PJF) to obtain the hybrid composites. Composites were prepared by hand moulding technique. The weight percentage of particles and fibers are fixed in the ratio of 1:1. Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strengths were evaluated as a function of the particle and fiber loadings. The results show that the properties of both the WD and CP composites obviously improved by the addition of the PJF. The improvement in WD/PF composites was obviously higher than the CP/PF composites for all loadings. The WD/PJF/PF hybrid composites exhibited better tensile (strength of 48.9 MPA and modulus of 1262.1 MPa, respectively), flexural (strength of 55.4 MPa and modulus of 1344.3 MPa, respectively), and impact properties (1.32 KJ/m2).

Reactive compatibilization between high-density polyethylene(HDPE) and wood-flour was achieved via direct reactive extrusion of glycidyl methacrylate(GMA), initiator, HDPE and wood-flour. Impact rupture surface of the composite was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM), and its load deformation temperature(HDT) and mechanical properties were tested. Effect of GMA dosage and extrusion temperature on reactive compatibilization of the composite was analysed. The result indicated that the anchoring strength of interface in the composite was obviously strengthened, and its HDT, tensile strength, flexural strength, notched impact strength and elongation at break of the composite were distinctly improved due to the addition of GMA and dicumyl peroxide(DCP). When the composite was extruded at 180°C, the peak values of its HDT, tensile strength, flexural strength, elongation at break and notched impact strength respectively were 84°C, 40Mpa, 45Mpa, 11% and 6.6KJ.m-2, which respectively increased by 17°C, 74%, 36%, 83% and 69% than that of the composite without reactive compatibilization, and when the composite was extruded at 190°C, the peak values of its HDT, tensile strength, flexural strength, elongation at break and notched impact strength respectively were 84°C, 40Mpa, 44Mpa, 11% and 6.6KJ.m-2, which respectively increased by 20°C, 60%, 26%, 83% and 83% than that of the composite without reactive compatibilization. When GMA usage increased, the HDT and mechanical properties of the composite increased first, then descended, and the optimum usage of GMA was 1wt%-3wt%.

The wood flour/HDPE microcellular foamed composites were prepared by means of torque rheometer. The effect of different wood flour content on mechanical properties and foamed behavior were studied. Results showed that the tensile strength and flexural strength of microcellular foamed composites first increased then decreased and the notched impact strength decreased with addition of wood flour, this was consistent with non-foamed composites. The density of composites increased and the density of foamed composites was less than non-foamed composites. With increasing wood flour content, the cell diameter of foamed composites first decreased then increased. When the content of wood flour was 40%, the cell diameter of the composites obtained the minimal value.

In order characterize the outstanding performance of the three dimensional (3D) hybrid composites, the charpy and flexural test has been carried out. 3D fiber structures have been achieved by using hand lay-up process and machine stitching method. Materials for hand lay-up and machine stitching process were glass fiber, jute fiber, and epoxy resin and nylon fiber respectively. Two dimensional (2D) glass fiber composite and 2D hybrid composite with the same stacking sequence as three dimensional (3D) counterparts have also been fabricated for the comparison of impact and flexural strength. The impact strength of 3D hybrid composite was increased (5-10%) compared with that 2D glass fiber and 2D hybrid composites. The flexural strength and modulus of 3D hybrid composite were increased (5-10%) compared with that of 2D hybrid composites.

The aim of this work is to prepare, by extrusion, blends of polypropylene (PP)/styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene-g-maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) at the ratios of 100/0, 95/5, 90/10, 85/15 80/20. Then, a amount of 10 wt% of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was added to each polymer blend to prepare (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/CaCO3 composites with effective ratios of (100/0)/10 (95/5)/10, (90/10)/10, (85/15)/15 and (80/20)/10. Morphological and tensile properties of PP/SEBS-g-MA, PP/CaCO3 and (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/ CaCO3 were evaluated and compared. It was found that the presence of SEBS-g-MA improves the particle dispersion and interfacial adhesion. The tensile properties of PP polymer were affected by addition of SEBS-g-MA and/or CaCO3. Indeed, the addition of only SEBS-g-MA the youngs modulus and tensile strength of PP were remarkably decreased and the elongation at break was significantly increased. In contrast, the PP/ CaCO3 composites shows improved youngs modulus and tensile strength and reduced elongation at break in regard to neat PP. A balance between these selected properties was found in (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/CaCO3 composites, while the youngs, tensile strength and elongation at break were together increased. .

The aim of the present paper is to examine the outcome of Al2O3-SiC reinforcements on structural and mechanical behavior of Al matrix based hybrid composites. Al-Al2O3-SiC hybrid composite has been developed through stir casting with addition of ceramics i.e. Al2O3-SiC (2.5 wt.%, 5.0 wt.%, 7.5 wt.% and 10.0 wt.%) in relative and symmetrical proportion. The structural characteristics, i.e. phase, microstructure, EDS; physical property i.e. density and the mechanical properties, i.e. hardness, impact strength and tensile strength of fabricated specimens have been investigated. XRD represents the transitional phase formation among Al base material and Al2O3-SiC ceramic phases with inter-atomic bonding between them. SEM reveals that the Al2O3-SiC fragments has distributed symmetrically in Al matrix. EDS spectrum of various samples are in confirmation with the XRD results. Density of hybrid composite reduces with increase in weight percentage of ceramic reinforcements i.e. Al2O3-SiC because ceramic particle gains low density after preheating. Hardness of hybrid composites increases upto 5 wt.% variation of ceramic reinforcements i.e. Al2O3-SiC after that it decreases. Impact strength of hybrid composite has been increased with an increase in weight percentage of ceramic. Al-2.5 wt.% Al2O3-2.5 wt.% SiC shows maximum ultimate tensile strength. It is expected that the prepared hybrid composites will be useful for fastener studs.
