Synthesis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites Incorporating MWCNTS and Graphene: A Study on Dynamic Mechanical Behavior and Cole–Cole Representation
Abstract: Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites were fabricated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene as nanofillers through the hand lay-up technique. Two sets of composites were prepared by incorporating MWCNTs and graphene separately into the epoxy resin matrix at varying weight percentages (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%). Mechanical and viscoelastic properties were evaluated following ASTM standards, and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) was performed to study their mechanical and …

Failure Analysis of Hybrid Natural/Synthetic Fiber Composite Laminates in The Application of Hybrid Composite Pressure Vessel
Abstract: Composite laminates are frequently utilized in multiple sectors. The growing complexity of composites in aircraft applications necessitates hybridization of these materials. These hybrid laminates consist the combination of one natural fiber and two selected synthetic fibers. This work investigates three different six-layer hybrid composite laminate combinations: Jute2/Carbon2/Jute2, Jute2/Glass2/Jute2, and Carbon2/Glass2/Carbon2, with helix angles of 0° and 90° and a volume fraction of 50% fiber content. Each specimen is fabricated utilizing …
