“…Wonderly et al [84] for example reported this ratio as 0.73 for glass fibre composites, while it was only 0.34 for carbon fibre composites due to the anisotropic nature of carbon fibres. These values may not be generally applicable though.…”

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.

“…The mechanical properties of polymer based composites are greatly influenced by many factors such as the effect of fiber loading, fiber length, fiber, matrix, fibre diameter, processing, interface between the fibre and matrix and orientation having a significant influence on mechanical behavior of polymer composites [4,5]. The mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, tensile modulus, ductility are improved as the fibers reinforcement content increase in the polymeric matrix materials [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Optimization in tribological behaviour of AlnanoTiO2 powder metallurgy composites using response surface method D Balaji, M Vetrivel, M Ekambaram et al. Abstract. Tribological behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites containing 42wt.% (CU42) and 52wt.% (CU52) carbon fibres fabricated by moulding technique was investigated on a pin-on-flat plate configuration. It is the first time to measure static and dynamic coefficient of frictions and wear rates of epoxy composites under heavy loading conditions. Microstructures of composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicated the carbon fiber improved the tribological properties of thermoset epoxy by reducing wear rate, but increased the coefficient of friction. At higher load, average wear rates were about 10.8x10 -5 mm 3 /N.m for composites while it was about 38.20x10 -5 mm 3 /N.m for epoxy resin. The wear rate decreased with decreasing load while friction coefficient increased with decreasing load. Moreover, friction coefficient of composites of CU42 tested at 90 N load was measured to be in the range 0.35 and 0.13 for static and dynamic component, respectively.

Carbon fibers (CFs) have a unique combination of properties which allow them to be widely used as reinforcing materials in advanced polymer composites. The mechanical properties of CF-reinforced polymer composites are governed mainly by the quality of interfacial adhesion between the CFs and the polymer matrix. Surface treatments of CFs are generally carried out to introduce chemical functional groups on the fiber surfaces, which provide the ability to control the surface characteristics of CFs. In this study, we review recent experimental studies concerning various surface treatment methods for CFs. In addition, direct examples of the preparation and properties of CF-reinforced thermosetting composites are discussed.
