Newest firstThis study investigates the development of sustainable polymer composites for structural strengthening by incorporating waste glass fibers and natural fibers (flax and hemp) into an epoxy matrix, in response to the growing environmental concerns. Mechanical, thermal, and durability-related properties were evaluated through tensile testing, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study investigates the elastic properties of bio-epoxy composites reinforced with natural fibres (flax, hemp) and synthetic fibres (S-glass), with particular focus on the effect of the fibre volume fraction (VF) ranging from 10% to 70%. Three-dimensional representative volume element (RVE) models were developed for single-fibre, hybrid, and multi-fibre systems. The mean-field homogenisation (MF) approach, bas…
Open article record in new tab ↗The quasi-static penetration properties of hybrid laminates were experimentally investigated. Aramid fabrics, carbon fabrics, and short hemp fibres were applied as the reinforcements of hybrid and non-hybrid composite laminates with polyurethane-polyurea (PUR/PUA) matrix. The laminates were made by hand, in a mould. They were cured at room temperature for 24 h. Hybrid laminates consisted of aramid and carbon layer…
Open article record in new tab ↗Natural fibers have many advantages over synthetic fibers due to their lightness, low cost, biodegradability, and abundance in nature. The demand for natural fiber hybrid composites in various applications has increased recently, because of its promising mechanical properties. In this research work, the mechanical and wettability properties of reinforced natural fiber epoxy resin hybrid composites were investigate…
