Effect of stacking sequence and fiber content on mechanical and morphological properties of woven kenaf/polyester fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) hybrid laminated composites

M. N. M. Azlin et al.

Summary: Hybrid laminated composites consisting of woven kenaf, woven polyester, and polylactic acid (PLA) were fabricated using the hot compression method. The composition and stacking sequence of the hybrid composites significantly influenced their mechanical properties. Increasing the content of woven kenaf improved the flexural properties of the hybrid composites, while the composition of woven kenaf and woven polyester had an effect on flexural strength. Additionally, the tensile fracture surface morphology was evaluated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), providing insights for industrial applications.

Prediction and analysis of properties of ramie fiber staple yarn reinforced unsaturated polyester composite based on fiber packing density

Qi Zuo et al.

Summary: By using staple spinning to overcome the limitation of plant fiber length, ramie fiber staple yarn reinforced unsaturated polyester composites (RSYCs) were fabricated. The fiber packing density of the staple yarn was found to significantly affect the properties of RSYCs, with increasing density improving tensile strength and viscoelastic rigidity. The obtained fiber packing density has great potential for promoting the development of RSYCs.

Experimental investigation of the effect of weave type on the mechanical properties of woven hemp fabric/epoxy composites

Nesrin Sahbaz Karaduman

Summary: Natural fiber composites are increasingly being used as alternative materials to petroleum-based plastics and glass fiber reinforced composites for economic and environmental reasons. Textile preforms, such as woven fabrics, have high mechanical properties and versatility in material design, making them popular in the composite industry. This study produced epoxy composites reinforced with hemp woven fabrics of four different weave types and evaluated their mechanical properties. The results showed that the weave type had a significant effect on the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of the composites.

Interlaminar shear strength study of Mg and carbon fiber-based hybrid laminates with self-healing microcapsules

Monika Ostapiuk et al.

Summary: The study investigates the shear strengthening of fiber metal laminates with surface treated magnesium and carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CFRP) laminates. It finds that configurations involving specific fiber orientation and MCs content result in the highest interlaminar shear strength and reduced damage in the FML structure. The presence of MCs creates interlocking and self-healing effects that contribute to the shear strengthening phenomenon observed in these FMLs.

Why cyclic hygrothermal ageing modifies the transverse mechanical properties of a unidirectional epoxy-flax fibres composite?

Laetitia Van Schoors et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the impact of moisture variations during one-year cyclic hygrothermal ageing on the transverse properties of a unidirectional epoxy flax composite. It reveals that the decrease in transverse ultimate tensile strength and modulus is mainly due to the physical plasticization of the epoxy matrix, rather than chemical degradation caused by water.
