“…Furthermore, as the average number of fibers with angles larger than 0° with respect to the loading direction increases, the failure is more dominated by the matrix and interfacial properties. Therefore, matrix straining is more dominant in the 45° and 90° directions [25,26]. It is also evident from the results that increasing the fiber loading had a least impact on the tensile strength, modulus and tensile strain of composites with 90° oriented fibers.…”

Sugar palm [Arenga pinnata (Wurmb.) Merr] fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester resin composites with 0°, 45°, and 90° fiber different orientations were prepared and tested. The composites were characterized for tensile, flexural, impact and compression properties using ASTM D3039, ASTM D790, ASTM D250, and ASTM D3410 standards, respectively. For the thermal characterization, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was conducted to characterize the on storage modulus (E'), loss modulus (E'') and damping behavior (tan δ) of the composites. The highest mechanical performance of composites was achieved at 0° of fiber orientation composites followed by 45° and 90° fiber orientations. The fiber loading was insignificant for the 90° fiber orientation as the properties were inconsistent. The theoretical value of modulus from the tensile test was calculated using rules of mixture (ROM) and compared with the experimental values for all composites specimens. This research showed that the optimum properties occurred at 30 wt % fiber loading as reflected by the superior tensile and flexural strengths. The optimum properties of compression, impact, storage modulus and better damping properties were achieved at 40 wt % fiber loading.

“…As resulted from the previous study, the mechanical properties increased linearly from 10 to 40 wt % [23]. Hence, for the fabrication of hybrid composites, the ratio between matrix and reinforcement was selected at 70/30 wt % and 60/40 wt %, respectively.…”

In this paper, hybrid sugar palm yarn and glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were investigated in relation to the effects of fiber loadings and alkaline treatment on the composite mechanical properties, such as tensile, flexural, impact and compression strength. The composites were fabricated at a weight ratio of matrix to reinforcement of 70 : 30 and 60 : 40, respectively, while the ratio of sugar palm yarn fiber to glass fiber was selected at 70 : 30, 60 : 40 and 50 : 50, respectively. The results revealed that the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites were increased with an increase of glass fiber loading for both 30 wt % and 40 wt % reinforcement content. The alkaline treatment of the sugar palm fibers have advantageous effect on the hybrid composite performance. The overall results indicated that the developed hybrid composites can be used as an alternative material for glass fiber reinforced polymer composites for various structural applications.

“…As the satin fabric contains more epoxy that is not infused into the interyarn due to the fabric structure [39], it resulted in more residual and forms a thicker layer between the heat source and polymeric material. This thicker layer residual results in the higher temperatures required for the composite decomposition and caused higher residual content [50].…”

The effects of carbon fibre hybridisation on the thermal properties of woven kenaf-reinforced epoxy composites were studied. Woven kenaf hybrid composites of different weave designs of plain and satin and fabric counts of 5×5 and 6×6 were manually prepared by a vacuum infusion technique. A composite made from 100% carbon fibre was served for a comparison purpose. Thermal properties of pure carbon fibre and hybrid composites were determined by using a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). It was found that a hybrid composite with higher kenaf fibre content (fabric count 6×6) showed better thermal stability while the highest thermal stability was found in the pure carbon fibre composite. The TG and DTG results showed that the amount of residue decreased in the plain-designed hybrid composite compared to the satin-designed hybrid composite. The DSC data revealed that the presence of woven kenaf increased the decomposition temperature.
