“…Therefore, before its implementation in any structural applications, it is essential for a design engineer or scientist to know the impact properties of the component. The hybrid polymer composite analysis consisting of kenaf bast fiber and fiberglass/kevlar as reinforcements in the matrix of polyester resin explores the impact properties of composites [175]. In this study, different percentages of volume fraction of kenaf fiber to hybrid fiberglass/kevlar polymeric composite were used (0%, 15%, 45%, 60%, and 75%) based on the volume fraction.…”

In recent years, most boat fabrication companies use 100% synthetic fiber-reinforced composite materials, due to their high performance of mechanical properties. In the new trend of research on the fabrication of boat structure using natural fiber hybrid with kevlar/fiberglass-reinforced composite, the result of tensile, bending, and impact strength showed that glass fiber-reinforced polyester composite gave high strength with increasing glass fiber contents. At some point, realizing the cost of synthetic fiber is getting higher, researchers today have started to use natural fibers that are seen as a more cost-effective option. Natural fibers, however, have some disadvantages, such as high moisture absorption, due to repelling nature; low wettability; low thermal stability; and quality variation, which lead to the degradation of composite properties. In recent times, hybridization is recommended by most researchers as a solution to natural fiber’s weaknesses and to reduce the use of synthetic fibers that are not environmentally friendly. In addition, hybrid composite has its own special advantages, i.e., balanced strength and stiffness, reduced weight and cost, improved fatigue resistance and fracture toughness, and improved impact resistance. The synthetic–nature fiber hybrid composites are used in a variety of applications as a modern material that has attracted most manufacturing industries’ attention to shift to using the hybrid composite. Some of the previous studies stated that delamination and manufacturing had influenced the performance of the hybrid composites. In order to expand the use of natural fiber as a successful reinforcement in hybrid composite, the factor that affects the manufacturing defects needs to be investigated. In this review paper, a compilation of the reviews on the delamination and a few common manufacturing defect types illustrating the overview of the impact on the mechanical properties encountered by most of the composite manufacturing industries are presented.

“…These results show that the bending modulus of the flax-based composites is higher than the Kevlar-based composites due to better bonding of the rough flax fibers compared to the smoother Kevlar fibers. This might be responsible for a stiffer composite with natural fiber reinforcement [ 31 , 32 ]. These results are supported by the fiber adhesion strength, as shown in Table 5 .…”

Cricket is one of the most popular global sports, and cricket pads are important personal protective gear used for shock absorption and peak deceleration of the impact forces of the cricket ball for both batsmen and wicket keepers. The materials selection of the padding should be considered according to requirements. In the present study, flexible composites were manufactured using knitted unidirectional thermoplastic composite prepregs. Prepregs were fabricated using thermoplastic yarns, e.g., High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Low Melting Polyester (LMPE). Para-aramid (Kevlar) and Flax yarns were used as inlay. The structures were stacked in three and five layers, and hot compression was used to convert thermoplastic yarn into matrix. A total of twelve samples were prepared, and their mechanical properties were evaluated. Tensile and flexural properties, short beam strength, and impact properties were optimized using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). This approach was used to select the best material for use in cricket pads. The candidate samples were ranked using statistical techniques. The optimum sample was found to be FP5, i.e., Flax with polypropylene using five layers, which exhibited the maximum impact strength. The results showed that the mechanical properties were improved in general by increasing the number of layers. The significance and percentage contribution of each factor was obtained by ANOVA (α = 0.10) and pie chart, which showed Factors A and C (inlay yarn and number of layers) to be the main contributors. The optimal samples showed superior impact-related performance compared to a market sample cricket pad.
