“…It can be concluded that the existence of the fewer amount of voids, good adhesion behavior among fabrics and matrices, proper fiber breakage, and pull-out characteristics of the laminates makes them suitable for certain medium load engineering applications. [67][68][69][70][71][72]…”

The use of renewable resources to reduce environmental effects can provide a long-term platform. The natural fiber is an excellent renewable resource for developing lightweight composite materials. The present work is the development of hybrid areca/carbon/basalt reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites and the investigation of their mechanical, thermal, and water absorption behavior. Four layered areca-carbon, areca-basalt, and areca fiber reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites were fabricated with three different varying stacking sequences with epoxy and bio epoxy composites with a hand layup method. The Mechanical properties like tensile, flexural, and impact behavior were evaluated and compared between the synthetic and bio epoxy resin. Also, the thermal, water absorption, and morphological studies of all composites were studied, and results showed that out of all the composites the carbonareca fiber reinforced composites showed better mechanical properties and SEM analysis exemplified the better bonding between areca, carbon, and basalt fabrics. The prepared laminates can be used for developing some commercial medium-load structural applications.

In this current research study, nine different combinations of coir, jute, and bamboo reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated using casting technique. These composites were employed to mechanical tests such as flexural and impact tests, and analyzed the thermal stability through Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, the thermal conductivity and surface morphology was also studied for hybrid composites. The hybridization of more than one fiber with epoxy matrix resulted in better mechanical and thermal properties as compared to individual reinforcements, and this statement is agreed with the present research work as well as the research works reported in the literature. The hybrid composite with the maximum amount of jute fibers reinforcement with bamboo fiber (B2C0J8) exhibited maximum flexural and impact strengths of 92.521 MPa and 82.4 kJ/m 2 respectively, which is due to the higher modulus and energy-absorbing behavior of jute fibers, also it was an advantage of coir fibers absence having lower modulus and strength values. In thermal conductivity analysis, the marginal variations of values were observed with different volume fractions of fibers, and the maximum conductivity (0.317 W/m-K) was obtained for B2C8J Composite having only coir and bamboo fiber reinforcements with epoxy matrix. The Thermogravimetric analysis results reveal that all nine types of hybrid composites possess nearly equal thermal stability, and slight variations in degradation temperatures were observed in the thermographs. The B2C1J7 hybrid composite was recommended for better mechanical and thermal properties, where it has 89.06 MPa of flexural strength, 78.6 kJ/m 2 of impact strength, 0.233 W/m-K of thermal conductivity and exhibited better surface morphology.

In this investigation, the different weaving pattern of intra ply Kevlar and pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced with epoxy hybrid composites was fabricated using the compression molding method. Solid particle erosion wear properties, water absorption, and thickness swelling behavior were tested. Solid particle erosion wear properties were tested using an air‐jet erosion tester. The various factors for solid particle erosion test were taken as impingement angle, exposure time, and weaving pattern. The weaving pattern was varied as plain type, twill type, basket type. The result showed that basket weave type and pure Kevlar fiber reinforced epoxy composites have better water absorption and thickness swelling properties. The results from the solid particle erosion test indicated that twill type and pure Kevlar fiber reinforced epoxy composites showed superior erosion wear resistance compared to other composites. Further, the statistical analysis was carried out using Taguchi analysis and their results showed that twill type Kevlar/PALF reinforced with epoxy composite was a minimum erosion wear rate at 90° of impingement angle and 6 min exposure time. The erosion mechanism of the surface eroded composite specimens was investigated using scanning electron microscopy.
