“…The incorporation of Cotton fibers in the range of 10 to 25% with Glass fibers exhibited 43% improvement in Mode I fracture toughness as compared with pristine Glass fiber composite. Similarly, Mode II fracture toughness enhanced up to 59.8% with the addition of Cotton fibers in the range of 10 to 25% [11]. The interlaminar fracture toughness under mode I loading increased by 32% in hybrid composite with Cork and UD Carbon-epoxy in comparison with Carbon-epoxy composite.…”

In this paper, the effect of integration of natural fibers in UD carbon fiber is studied. The integration of natural fibers in carbon fiber is made via intra fiber hybridization. Natural fiber hybrid composite samples were prepared for Mode I and Mode II fracture tests. XRD analysis was done for the chosen natural fibres to know the crystallinity index and then compared with Carbon and Glass fibres. The fracture test experimental results, revealed that the effect of Jute fiber integration in UD Carbon epoxy composite was found significant in getting relatively good Mode I and II fracture toughness at the crack initiation without losing its stiffness. In addition to this Kenaf Carbon epoxy composite indicated better crack suppression with 30% higher propagation toughness values as compared other hybrid combinations and pristine composites. It is observed that integration of jute fibers in UD carbon epoxy composites was significant in achieving good mode I and mode II fracture toughness at the crack initiation without losing its stiffness and also kenaf carbon epoxy composites indicated better crack suppression with 30% higher propagation toughness as compared to other hybrid combinations used.

Natural fibres may be a good alternative to synthetic fibres when reinforcing polymer composites in order to maintain a healthy environment. Cotton is a natural fibre with many benefits, including low density, good heat conductivity, high flexibility, resilience, elasticity and renewability. Cotton's crystalline and fibrillar structure accounts for its exceptional strength. We were inspired to conduct this review because of the potential of cotton fibre, as well as its mass production and low cost. This article reviews and summarises the mechanical properties of cotton fibre-reinforced polymer composites, including their flexural, tensile and impact properties. The effect of compatibilizers on the adhesion of two different phases of a composite material was also investigated in this study. Cotton fibre-reinforced composites were investigated as a replacement for desirable features by the textile, building and automotive industries. The industrial applications of cotton fibre-reinforced polymer composites are also highlighted in the final section.
