Hybrid Composites Made from Jute/Coir Fibers: Water Absorption, Thickness Swelling, Density, Morphology, and Mechanical Properties

Physical and thermal properties of unidirectional banana–jute hybrid fiber-reinforced epoxy composites

“…The rate of water absorption is greatly influenced by the materials density and void content. 39,40 The water absorption for the neat epoxy composite was the lowest water absorption percentage with the value of 0.12. This is because epoxy resin acts as water resistant matrix.…”

Effect of layering sequence and chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of woven kenaf–aramid hybrid laminated composites

“…Saw et al [19]study the effect of a chopped fibre mat of jute hybridized with bagasse in novolac composites in term of a different layering pattern on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. They conclude that jute-bagasse hybrid fibresreinforced epoxy novolac composites could find potential applications as high-performance engineering materials.…”

Mechanical Properties of Unidirectional Jute-Polyester Composite

“…Behera et al [20] studied the physical properties of jute-nanoclay modified soy resin composite. Saw et al [21] fabricated the jute-coir hybrid composites by using epoxy novolac resin and tested different physical properties of this composite.…”

“…Normally, the flexural modulus is very sensitive to the matrix properties and fibrematrix interfacial bonding [21]. It has been observed from the Table 2 that, polyester resin had flexural strength and modulus of 31.5MPa and 3.88GPa.…”
