Damage under progressive load–unload until failure was assessed for a new woven carbon fibre/flax fibre/epoxy hybrid composite via stiffness degradation D, permanent strain [Formula: see text], and crack density [Formula: see text]. Type A configuration had woven carbon fibres and unidirectional flax fibres (i.e. [0–90C2/0F12/0–90C2]), while Type B configuration had woven carbon fibres and ±45 ° obliquely angled flax fibres (i.e. [0–90C2/(±45)F6S/0–90C2]. Results were obtained for D in tension (Type A, 0.080; Type B, 0.089) and compression (Type A, 0.178; Type B, 0.207), [Formula: see text] in tension (Type A, 0.085%; Type B, 0.075%) and compression (Type A, 0.086%; Type B, 0.086%), and [Formula: see text] in tension (Type A, range = 0.12–1.06%; Type B, range = 0.6–1.43%) and compression (Type A, range = 0.65–1.20%; Type B, range = 1.05–2.20%). Failure involved flax fibre bundle cracks and interfacial cracks in the flax fibre/epoxy region.

This research is mainly focused on the analysis of tensile and flexural strength, water absorption angle measurement of untreated and silane treatment of natural kenaf fiber composites reinforced with silicon nanoparticles. The percentages of nano silicon were 0.5 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 2.5 wt%. Before reinforcement, the kenaf fiber was treated with silane solution ( 90 vol% of water and 10 vol% of pure silane) to enhance the bonding strength. The composites samples were prepared using Epoxy, Kenaf and Silicon nanoparticle (EKS) by the compression moulding process. The tensile and flexural strength were measured about automobile interior application. Moreover, the samples were immersed in water for 24 hours with different environmental conditions. The results indicated that the tensile strength of epoxy improved from 8-9% when increasing the nanoparticles. Also, it was found that 3-5% of strength enhancement in silane treated samples than untreated composites. Similarly, the flexural strength of silane treated samples were found higher about 4% than untreated samples. And, lower water absorption was noted with silane treated than untreated kenaf hybrid composites, which tends to improve the bonding. It causes improvements in mechanical strength with silane treated kenaf hybrid composites.

“…Despite the advantages of biopolymer materials, they have some limitations compared to petroleum-based materials, such as relatively low stiffness, tensile strength, permeability, and thermal stability [ 8 , 9 ]. Therefore, to modify biopolymers’ properties and commercial importance, “biopolymer composites” are tremendously explored by adding reinforcement materials within the micro or nanoscale [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. These composites have a large assortment of applications in construction, medicine, electronics, packaging, and automotive sectors [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Recent Progress in Hybrid Biocomposites: Mechanical Properties, Water Absorption, and Flame Retardancy

Bio-based composites are reinforced polymeric materials in which one of the matrix and reinforcement components or both are from bio-based origins. The biocomposite industry has recently drawn great attention for diverse applications, from household articles to automobiles. This is owing to their low cost, biodegradability, being lightweight, availability, and environmental concerns over synthetic and nonrenewable materials derived from limited resources like fossil fuel. The focus has slowly shifted from traditional biocomposite systems, including thermoplastic polymers reinforced with natural fibers, to more advanced systems called hybrid biocomposites. Hybridization of bio-based fibers/matrices and synthetic ones offers a new strategy to overcome the shortcomings of purely natural fibers or matrices. By incorporating two or more reinforcement types into a single composite, it is possible to not only maintain the advantages of both types but also alleviate some disadvantages of one type of reinforcement by another one. This approach leads to improvement of the mechanical and physical properties of biocomposites for extensive applications. The present review article intends to provide a general overview of selecting the materials to manufacture hybrid biocomposite systems with improved strength properties, water, and burning resistance in recent years.
