“…During composite preparation, As previous studies recommended fiber/matrix ratio (30%/70%) and bamboo fiber/glass fiber ratio (50%/50%) were used. [33][34][35] A measured amount of untreated polyester was mixed with the hardener in the ratio of 95:5. The resin and hardener mixture was poured into the mold and was left to soak into the fiber.…”

In this experimental study, hybrid composite properties for hydrokinetic turbine blades were determined, and its performance was examined. The reinforcements included glass fiber, treated and untreated highland bamboo fiber, reinforced polyester-based composites and their hybrid composites, as well as row bamboo (bamboo culm). The row bamboo was prepared on the bamboo culm’s outer surface to get rid of any leftovers, before cutting in accordance with the specimen test standards. In order to make hybrid composite materials, polyester resin was mixed with fibers in the proportions of bamboo fiber/glass fiber (50%/50%), and fiber/matrix (30%/70%). The composite containing glass fiber has a flexural strength that is 12% and 21% higher than materials reinforced with alkali-treated and untreated highland bamboo fiber reinforced composites respectively. The alkali treatment of highland bamboo fiber improved its physical-mechanical properties, making it suitable for use different application. Alkaline treatment boosts the composite’s tensile and compressive strength by 37% and 3.4% for composite reinforced with untreated bamboo fiber, and 10.2% and 23.8% for composite reinforced with glass fiber, respectively. The fiber density of highland bamboo was increased by removing less dense non-cellulosic components (hemicellulose and lignin). However, the fiber’s moisture absorption is the main issue in using it in a composite that works submerged in water. This study investigated whether incorporating glass fiber in highland bamboo-glass fiber polyester hybrid composite reduces the composite material’s water uptake. A reduction was found, however, the density was increased. It is challenging to employ row bamboo for the construction of hydrokinetic turbine blades as water ingress of the composite must be avoided even in the presence of erosion caused by cavitation and impact with foreign bodies in the water.

“…Hybrid composites, especially with thermoset matrices, can be produced by a wide variety of methods, such as autoclave molding, cold press, compression molding, hand lay-up, hydraulic pressing, vacuum bagging, and infusion methods [ 20 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming are widely used as production techniques in thermoplastic composites [ 42 , 43 ].…”

The use of composite materials has seen many new innovations for a large variety of applications. The area of reinforcement in composites is also rapidly evolving with many new discoveries, including the use of hybrid fibers, sustainable materials, and nanocellulose. In this review, studies on hybrid fiber reinforcement, the use of nanocellulose, the use of nanocellulose in hybrid forms, the use of nanocellulose with other nanomaterials, the applications of these materials, and finally, the challenges and opportunities (including safety issues) of their use are thoroughly discussed. This review will point out new prospects for the composite materials world, enabling the use of nano- and micron-sized materials together and creating value-added products at the industrial scale. Furthermore, the use of hybrid structures consisting of two different nano-materials creates many novel solutions for applications in electronics and sensors.

“…The process consists of building up or placing layers of composite fiber in a sequenced lay-up using a matrix of resin and hardener. [19][20][21][22] Flexural properties of Al/Floral foam sandwich composite prepared by hand lay-up process were investigated by Firuz et al 23 Sözen and Gündüz 24 studied the ballistic properties of oriented strand board panels supported by different proportions of woven glass fiber and waste polypropylene. The materials forming the ballistic panel were organized by means of the hand lay-up method.…”

In this study, the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silica nanoparticles on quasi-static behavior of fiber–metal laminates (FML) has been experimentally scrutinized. FML consists of two layers of aluminum alloy plates and four composite layers including CNT/nanosilica-reinforced epoxy resin and glass fibers. The effect of weight percentage of carbon nanotube and nanosilica incorporated and their weight ratio in resin epoxy on the performance of FMLs against quasi-static compressive load has been considered. Furthermore, the design of experiments method and response surface methodology have been put into practice to develop an accurate mathematical relationship between the input parameters and the response variable. After designing and performing the experiments based on analysis of variance, a mathematical model corresponding to the real process is obtained. Moreover, the presented model has been validated by statistical methods. The results of this study indicate that the energy absorption capacity of these materials significantly increase through adding CNT to the FML, the highest failure force of 11.64 kN was obtained for FLMs comprising 0.6 wt.% of CNT and 3 wt.% of SiO2. An improvement of 27.88% and 45.86% in the absorbed energy and failure force was achieved, respectively, by adding 3 wt.% of SiO2 and 0.6 wt.% of CNT to FLM compared to pristine FLM.
