Partial replacement of E-glass fibers with flax fibers in composites and effect on falling weight impact performance

Impact and post-impact damage characterisation of hybrid composite laminates based on basalt fibres in combination with flax, hemp and glass fibres manufactured by vacuum infusion

“…An action of impact damage dissipation on glass/flax fibre hybrids has been observed already elsewhere [19]. In this regard, excluding the F and H laminates that basically did not offer any residual performance after impact, the superiority of the GFB laminate over other hybrid laminates can be noted.…”

Fibre hybridisation in polymer composites: A review

“…As detailed in the recent review papers by Jawaid and Khalil [69] and Nunna et al [147], natural fibre hybrid composites are often a combination of a natural fibre with another natural fibre [95,96,[148][149][150] or with glass fibre [107,142,148,[151][152][153][154][155][156][157]. The latter is more common, as it allows larger improvements in mechanical properties.…”

A Review: Natural Fiber Composites Selection in View of Mechanical, Light Weight, and Economic Properties

“…Joshia et al reviewed and the studies by Wötzel et al and Schmidt et al and showed that the natural fiber composites were more environmentally friendly than glass fiber composite as a candidate for automobile applications. As natural fibers during their growth period absorb CO 2 and their specific volume is higher than that of glass fiber, which increased the volume fractions of natural fiber and reduced the cost of polymers and due to their light weight, natural fiber composites can reduce the weight of automobile parts with an environmentally friendly image …”
