  Interfacial Bonding Efficiency in Jute-Carbon Fiber Polyester Matrix Composites Evaluated Through Short Beam Shear and Interlaminar Fracture Toughness Testing

  By P. Nithya, Kiran Kumar M, Madhukumar K, Sasikumar N, Krishna Prasad S, Asha P B

  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 …

  Recyclable Vitrimer-Matrix Carbon Fibre Composites for Aerostructures: Reprocessing Efficiency and Retention of Mechanical Performance

  By Krupal Pawar, Rameshwar Kadu, Yogesh Pathare, Rajeshkumar Sambhe, Sailee Shelke, Vasudha Patil

  Abstract: To begin, carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have become an important part of the structural loading in many modern aircraft; however, due to their permanent cross-linking in thermosets, they cannot easily be restored after being retired. Vitrimers have been proposed as a solution since their Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs), rearranged by associative exchange, may be reshaped, welded, repaired or dissolved without damaging the CFRP fibers. This paper reviews whether the …
