“…28 This is evident from the measured values of hardness of glass fiber and epoxy having 94 RHN and 76 RHN respectively. 32 The wear rate of the C3 was 0.1496 g/m which was 20.51% and 8.66% lower than the C1 and the C2 as shown in Figure 7. This is due to the chemical composition of natural fiber which enhanced wear resistance in the composite.…”

Recent years, Polymer matrix hybrid composites have a greater attention in industry and research due to growing demand for versatile applications. The present work focused on the development of epoxy based hybrid nanocomposites. Nanoclay is another novel material that is widely used in the research. In this investigation, nanoclay dispersed hybrid composite materials has been studied for mechanical and wear behavior. Glass fiber and banana fiber combined epoxy laminates (EGB) were reinforced with nanoclay at different weight fractions of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% using compression moulding. The enhanced properties of the nanoclay hybrid composites were analyzed with other specimens. Water absorption character study was also conducted. Morphological study was performed using Scanning Electron Microscope. It was observed that an optimum result attained with 4 wt% nanoclay reinforced composite with an increase in tensile strength of 8.62%, flexural strength of 30.19%, and impact strength of 48.15% when compared to EGB. Further the wear resistance of 4 wt% nanoclay hybrid composite showed an increase of 19.4% than the EGB composite.

In the present study, a comparison has been made between the mechanical properties of polyester and epoxy matrices reinforced Sisal/S‐Glass, and also the effects of nano clay addition have been studied. For fabrication of composites, Glass/Sisal fibers are reinforced with Polyester and Epoxy with various wt% of nano clay. These composites are fabricated through the hand lay‐up technique. Various wt% of nano clay are 2, 4, 6 wt%, and the stacking sequence of fibers are GSSG (S‐Glass/Sisal/Sisal/S‐Glass). The variations of strengths among the polyester/epoxy are also studied and examined. In Epoxy/GSSG reinforced NC composites compared with 0–4 wt% tensile strength increased by 18%. Polyester/GSSG reinforced NC composites tensile strength increased by 16%, and in Epoxy/GSSG reinforced NC composites compared with 0–2 wt% flexural strength increased by 16%. Polyester/GSSG reinforced NC composites tensile strength increased by 24%. The microstructural analysis has been carried out on the fractured samples, which indicated brittle failure of the fiber and fiber pull‐outs. This conclusion confirms the proposed novel laminates fitness for possible usage in structural applications in the aerospace sector.
