Investigations on physical, mechanical, morphological and water absorption properties of ramie/hemp/kevlar reinforced vinyl ester hybrid composites

Abstract: Structural uses in the vehicle, aerospace, and sporting goods industries are being supplanted by hybrid composites that utilized natural fibers as reinforcements. The main focus of this work is to fabricate and characterize the ramie, hemp, and kevlar fabric reinforced hybrid vinyl ester composites. The composite laminates were fabricated via economically feasible and flexible hand lay‐up technique. Overall six composites were prepared by varying the stacking sequence, including both hybrid and non‐hybrid comp… Show more

“…The SEM images of the fractured surface indicate that the jute fiber maintains a sturdy and unmodified appearance. This type of bonding facilitated the transfer of load from the matrix to the fiber, resulting in a significant enhancement of strength [39]. Voids or interstices within jute fibers provide conduits for water infiltration when immersed in water.…”

“…These characteristics make them popular in industries and ideal for structural applications 5 . The mix of natural and filler powders increases the mechanical strength of the composites, making them excellent for structural applications 6–8 . The combination of fillers and fibers has been explored to improve the mechanical properties of composites by focusing on adhesion, thermal stability, and moisture absorption behavior 9 …”

“…Today, it is possible for a single material to have these qualities with the production of composites. Composite production is obtaining the intended qualities by applying reinforcement to traditional materials such as metals or polymers 1 . Especially using polymers as a matrix allows the production of composites with countless combinations.…”
