“…As detailed in the recent review papers by Jawaid and Khalil [69] and Nunna et al [147], natural fibre hybrid composites are often a combination of a natural fibre with another natural fibre [95,96,[148][149][150] or with glass fibre [107,142,148,[151][152][153][154][155][156][157]. The latter is more common, as it allows larger improvements in mechanical properties.…”

Fibre-reinforced composites are rapidly gaining market share in structural applications, but further growth is limited by their lack of toughness. Fibre hybridisation is a promising strategy to toughen composite materials. By combining two or more fibre types, these hybrid composites offer a better balance in mechanical properties than non-hybrid composites. Predicting their mechanical properties is challenging due to the synergistic effects between both fibres. This review aims to explain basic mechanisms of these hybrid effects and describes the state-of-the-art models to predict them. An overview of the tensile, flexural, impact and fatigue properties of hybrid composites is presented to aid in optimal design of hybrid composites. Finally, some current trends in fibre hybridisation, such as pseudoductility, are described.

“…Hybrid cellulose composites fabrication by cellulosic fibers is economical and provides another dimension to the versatility of cellulosic fiber reinforced composites. The constituent fibers in a hybrid composite can be altered in many ways, leading to good mechanical properties [21]. Hybrid composites are one of the emerging fields that draw attention for application in various sectors ranging from automobile to the building industry.…”

Jute cellulose composite (JCC), bamboo cellulose composite (BCC), untreated hybrid jute-bamboo fiber composite (UJBC), and jute-bamboo cellulose hybrid biocomposite (JBCC) were fabricated. All cellulose hybrid composites were fabricated with chemical treated jute-bamboo cellulose fiber at 1 : 1 weight ratio and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The effect of chemical treatment and fiber loading on the thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of composites was investigated. Treated jute and bamboo cellulose were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm the effectiveness of treatment. All composites were characterized by tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, surface morphology and water absorption test was reported. The FTIR results revealed that jute and bamboo cellulose prepared are identical to commercial cellulose. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of composites are optimum at 10 weight percentage (wt%) fibers loading. All cellulose composites showed high onset decomposition temperature. At 10 wt% fiber loading, JBCC shows highest activation energy followed by BCC and JCC. Significant reduction in crystallinity index was shown by BCC which reduced by 14%. JBCC shows the lowest water absorption up to 43 times lower compared to UJBC. The significant improved mechanical and morphological properties of treated cellulose hybrid composites are further supported by SEM images.

“…Over the past decade, natural/synthetic fiber reinforced composites have attracted substantial attention as potential structural materials for their low cost, low density (light weight), reasonable mechanical properties, and environmental benefits, including sustainability and a lower carbon footprint (Nunna et al 2012;Salman et al 2015b). However, in structural applications, such materials are often subjected to cyclic loads, which cause progressive damage and may lead to long-term failure of the structure (Petrucci et al 2013;Swolfs et al 2014).…”

Tension-Compression Fatigue Behavior of Plain Woven Kenaf/Kevlar Hybrid Composites

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The applications of hybrid natural/synthetic reinforced polymer composites have been rapidly gaining market share in structural applications due to their remarkable characteristics and the fact that most of the components made of these materials are subjected to cyclic loading. Their fatigue properties have received a lot of attention because predicting their behavior is a challenge due to the effects of the synergies between the fibers. The purpose of this work is to characterize the tension, compression, and tensile-compression fatigue behavior of six layers of Kevlar hybridized with one layer of woven kenaf reinforced epoxy, at a 35% weight fraction. Fatigue tests were carried out and loaded cyclically at 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% of their ultimate compressive stress. The results give a complete description for tensile and compression properties and could be used to predict fatigue-induced failure mechanisms.
