  Influence of Alkali Treatment on the Tensile Properties of The Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite

  By M Chrispin Das, S Prathap Singh, R Malkiya Rasalin Prince, K. Gnanasekaran, S Manikandan, A Dhanush, D S Sujith Kumar, S Yuva Praveen

  Abstract: In this study, the effect of alkali treatment on the tensile strength of the hibiscus fiber, gongura fiber, and treated madar fiber-reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) is studied. The Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution is utilized for madar fiber treatment. The traditional hand layup methodology was used for fabrication. The influence of tensile property control variables such as duration of fiber treatment, concentration of NaOH for treatment, and proportion of fiber …

  Evaluation of Impact Strength and Hardness for Polymer Matrix Composites with Steel, Carbon and Glass Reinforcements for Automotive Applications

  By Purna Surendernath, Pothamsetty Kasi V. Rao, M. V. Satish Kumar

  Abstract: Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) play a crucial role in a wide range of engineering submissions, owing to their impressive strength-to-weight ratio and customizable mechanical properties. This research focuses on examining how PMCs, enhanced with different materials, specifically carbon fibres, glass fibres, and steel fibres, behave when subjected to dynamic and static loading conditions. The study involves creating three distinct types of PMC specimens, each reinforced with one of the mentioned …
