Abstract: This paper investigates the stacking sequence of combined natural and synthetic fibres reinforced epoxy composites for better mechanical properties. The hybrid composites fabricated using vacuum assisted compression molding process with the natural and synthetic fibres layered in three different sequences such as type I, type II and type III where the synthetic fibers were placed alternatively. The ultimate tensile strength of composite type III was increased by 12% and 30% when compared to composite type I an… Show more

“…Banu et al compared the effects of the stacking sequence of Kevlar and natural fibers/epoxy polymer composites by using aloe vera, bamboo, and palm fibers. They concluded that the aloe vera/palm-Kevlar hybrid composite gives the highest impact strength because aloe vera and palm fibres have better wettability with the matrix and synthetic fibers [ 105 ].…”

“…Alkaline treatment, by removing chemical constituents from a fiber, such as a hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin, increases the roughness topographies of the fiber surface. Physically, the presence of a rough surface provides a mechanical interlock between the fiber surface and the matrix, which can improve the interfacial bond between them [ 68 , 113 ]. In addition, the alkaline treatment modifies the cellulose structure, increasing its crystallinity and reducing impurities such as sugar, which acts as a setting retardant in mortars [ 67 ].…”
