Hydrothermal durability of unidirectional flax/carbon fiber hybrid composite plates

Anni Wang et al.

Summary: Hybrid carbon fiber/flax reinforced polymer composites (HFRPs) are cost-effective materials for structural applications. This study investigated the property evolution of HFRP plates immersed in water at 40 and 70 degrees C for eight weeks. The water uptake and flexural properties of the HFRP samples were analyzed based on hybrid modes and fiber contents. The diffusion coefficient and equilibrium water absorption of HFRPs increased with temperature, and the deterioration of performance was more pronounced. HFRPs with carbon fibers on the surface showed better hydrothermal resistance and lower water absorption compared to other hybrid modes.

Water absorption and long-term thermal and mechanical properties of carbon/glass hybrid rod for bridge cable

Rui Guo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the performance changes and degradation mechanism of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite rod under hygrothermal aging conditions. The results reveal that water absorption and diffusion behavior follows a two-stage model, and resin plasticization and interfacial debonding are the main factors contributing to performance degradation.

Hygrothermal resistance of pultruded carbon, glass and carbon/glass hybrid fiber reinforced epoxy composites

Rui Guo et al.

Summary: In this study, the long-term hygrothermal properties of pultruded carbon, glass, and carbon/glass hybrid fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP, GFRP, C/GFRP) composites were experimentally evaluated. The diffusion of water molecules in the composites led to reversible resin plasticization and irreversible resin relaxation, causing degradation in thermal and mechanical properties. Based on the Arrhenius accelerating theory, the long-term life of the composites decreased, indicating the importance of considering hygrothermal effects in the application of FRP composites in civil engineering.

Size effects in hybrid unidirectional polymer composites under longitudinal tension: A micromechanical investigation

Jose M. Guerrero et al.

Summary: The study finds that increasing the length or cross-section of the virtual RVE in fibre hybrid composites improves the hybrid effect but decreases ductility, without altering the magnitude of the size effects. Moreover, a larger hybrid effect does not necessarily translate into greater ductility.

Dynamic mechanical behaviour of kenaf cellulosic fibre biocomposites: a comprehensive review on chemical treatments

M. R. M. Asyraf et al.

Summary: Kenaf, a plant fiber mainly composed of cellulose, shows potential as a replacement for synthetic fibers in biocomposites. Chemical treatments like alkaline, silane, and acetylation can enhance fiber properties, but their effects on dynamic mechanical behavior remain understudied. Additional chemical treatments and combined methods are being explored to improve the dynamic mechanical performance of kenaf biocomposites.

Effects of rod size and fiber hybrid mode on the interface shear strength of carbon/glass fiber composite rods exposed to freezing-thawing and outdoor environments

Guijun Xian et al.

Summary: Three types of carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer hybrid rods were developed to study the effects of rod size and fiber hybrid mode on interface shear strength. It was found that the fiber random hybrid mode led to a slight increase in water uptake, and temperature-alternating had a more significant impact on water uptake acceleration factor. Additionally, the increase in rod diameter prolonged the saturated water uptake time.
