Interfacial Bonding Efficiency in Jute-Carbon Fiber Polyester Matrix Composites Evaluated Through Short Beam Shear and Interlaminar Fracture Toughness Testing
Abstract: The natural Fiber–synthetic Fiber hybrid composites are jute–carbon Fiber hybrid in polyester matrix which could be used in semi-structural applications of automotive, construction and marine industry as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative of conventional carbon Fiber reinforced polymer. But the hydrophilic nature of jute Fibers and the relatively inert surface of carbon Fiber's cause weak bonding at the interface of the polyester matrix, which causes premature delamination, poor interlaminar shear …

Mechanical Property Assessment of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Composites Through Experimental Research
Abstract: Natural fibre reinforced composites are gradually taking the place of synthetic fibre composites due to its inexpensive cost, low density, and ease of supply. Furthermore, the addition of some waste materials to composites has remarkable properties that are attracting interest from a wide range of technical domains. Fibre reinforced with glass, carbon, and jute were used to generate hybrid composites. As a filler, different amounts of eggshell powder were mixed …

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 …

Evaluating The Durability and Environmental Sustainability of Hybrid Natural - Synthetic Fiber Composites
Abstract: This study examines the characteristics of hybrid composites composed of natural fibers (such as jute, hemp, or kenaf) and synthetic fibers (such as glass or carbon) integrated within polymer matrices. The hybridization method seeks to enhance the advantages of both fiber types, hence augmenting overall performance relative to single-reinforced composites. Mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance and hardness were evaluated through experimental tests. The results demonstrate that …

Comparative Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Fibre-Reinforced Composites: Mechanical Properties, Processing, and Sustainability Considerations
Abstract: The development of fibre-reinforced composites has significantly advanced engineering applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Synthetic fibres such as glass and carbon provide superior mechanical performance, but their production is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. Natural fibres, including jute, flax, banana, and hemp, offer biodegradability, lower cost, and sustainability benefits, though they often fall short in strength and durability. Hybrid composites frequently demonstrate improved performance by …
