“…[16] The previous research studies have evidenced the potential of hybrid composites over those of nonhybrid composites. [17][18][19] Towards the materials which are sustainable, environmental friendly, and high specific properties, natural fibers have been explored to be incorporated in hybrid composites. It is expected that the blending of two different fibers in the composite materials leads to the positive hybrid effect where the balance between mechanical properties and reduction of moisture uptake can be reached.…”

Hybrid composites have shown innumerable benefits to the research communities in terms of environmental friendliness and mechanical properties. This research study presents the mechanical characterization and moisture uptake of kenaf/pineapple leaf fiber‐reinforced polypropylene hybrid composites with several relative fiber ratios. A comparison was also made between nonhybrid and hybrid kenaf/pineapple leaf fiber‐reinforced composites to investigate the hybridization effect. In this work, the composite materials were fabricated via the hot compression technique. Mechanical tests were performed to obtain the tensile, flexural, and Charpy impact properties of nonhybrid and hybrid kenaf/pineapple leaf fiber‐based composites. The water absorption characteristics were then obtained by immersing the composite materials in the water until the saturation point was reached. The findings concluded that the mechanical properties and moisture uptake behaviors of the composites were improved through the hybridization. The hybrid composites with a relative fiber ratio of 25:75 were particularly promising with the improvement of 10.90% in tensile strength; 16.13% in flexural strength; and 6.80% in impact strength in both flatwise and edgewise orientations compared to nonhybrid kenaf‐based composites. Meanwhile, the diffusion coefficient of hybrid composites (25:75) was 56.12% lower than nonhybrid pineapple leaf fiber‐based composites. Thus, the results indeed demonstrated that the balance between mechanical properties and moisture sensitivity can be obtained through the hybridization of kenaf and pineapple leaf fiber in the composite materials.

Polymer Composites

Composites are primarily made using matrix and reinforcement as major components but may also contain several other fillers or additives. A majority of the composites are made using synthetic fibers and polymers. However, in the last few decades, focus has been on developing biocomposites using renewable resources. Conventionally, biocomposites are developed using natural fibers such as jute, Kenaf, or Ramie as reinforcement and synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and epoxy as matrix. Typically, biocomposites contain either the reinforcement or matrix which makes the composites partially degradable. Such partially degradable composites provide good properties, but the presence of a nonbiodegradable component, particularly as a matrix limits their biodegradability. Alternatively, composites that contain both the matrix and reinforcement from renewable resources which make the composites completely degradable have also been developed. However, these completely biodegradablebiocomposites do not have the desired mechanical properties and stability at high humidities or in aqueous environments which restricts their application. In addition, natural fibers and resins used in biocomposites have inherent limitations and also not easily processable. To overcome limitation of using a single reinforcement or matrix derived from bioresources, hybrid composites that contain more than one reinforcement or matrix are developed. Such hybrid composites are manufactured by either intimately mixing two or more fibers or other reinforcing materials or by placing different layers of the reinforcement and molding them into composites using one or more resins. Conventionally, hybrid composites refer to metallic and ceramic based reinforcement, matrix and fillers. Although hybrid biocomposites are gaining significant attention, the presence of multiple reinforcements and/or matrix makes it difficult to process and also to predict the properties of such composites. Hence, understanding the properties and potential of using multiple reinforcements and/or matrix materials from renewable resources to develop biobased hybrid composites is highly desirable. This article discusses hybrid composites that contain a major proportion of renewable materials. Hybrid composites not only provide better properties but could also lead to substantial cost reduction due to the incorporation of inexpensive raw materials. These composites show potential for use in aeronautical, sporting goods, wind power turbine blades, helmets and civil construction such as pedestrian bridges and many other applications. This review provides an overview of the biobased materials used to develop hybrid composites, their processability and their potential applications. POLYM.

“…Therefore, a majority of relevant research have been conducted to reveal the complex failure mechanisms of composite structures in the past decades [11][12][13][14][15]. According to relevant researches, it remains challenging for the prediction of their failure behavior due to its easily affected by many factors, including stacking sequence, material properties, loading condition and triggering mechanism, and so forth [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Regardless of the composite components, the trigger mechanism is a key technology to the energy absorbing (EA) mechanism [24][25][26][27].…”

Energy‐absorption performance of composite corrugated plates with corrugated‐shape ditch plug initiator

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To improve the energy‐absorbing capacity of composite corrugated plate, the axial impact responses under axial quasi‐static crush loading is numerically studied and compared. Both the intra‐ply damage and delamination interface damage are considered. To accurately capture the progressive damage propagation, the failure material is modeled with a stiffness degradation method combined with the exponential damage evolution laws. To improve the crush performance, a novel corrugated‐shape ditch plug initiator (CDP) is proposed. The effects of extensive parameters including the ditch width and the inner geometry are carried out. Results show that well agreements between the numerical model and experimental results are identified on failure modes and energy‐absorption characteristics. The corrugated plate with CDP can increase the specific energy absorption by 20.3% than non‐plug initiator. The total of energy absorption is the decreasing function with respect to the width of ditch. The crushing performance can be improved due to the change in the inner geometry parameters. POLYM.
