“…SiC nanoparticles showed the better wear rate than the SiC nano whiskers. Ramprabu et al [15] resulted that the thermal degradation of sisal fiber starts above 200℃. The porous structure of the fiber degrades the thermal behavior at elevated temperature.…”

In this study, an attempt was made to develop and characterize Snake Grass Fiber (SGF)/Silicon Carbide (SiC)/epoxy and Snake Grass Fiber/Sisal Fiber (SF)/Silicon Carbide/epoxy hybrid composites using a compression moulding technique. Mechanical characteristics of the produced hybrid composites such as tensile, flexural, and hardness tests were analyzed. Also experiments have been carried out to predict the thermal stability of the fabricated composite samples. The interface between fiber and matrix was examined by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Among SGF/SiC/epoxy and SGF/SF/SiC/epoxy composites, it has been observed that hybrid composite SGF/SF/SiC/epoxy exhibits the higher hardness of 82 Shore-D, tensile strength of 51 MPa and flexural strength of 73 MPa. In contrast to the mechanical properties, the percentage of water absorption was lower in the SGF/SiC/epoxy hybrid composite. It is proven from the results that the SGF/SF/SiC/epoxy hybrid composites will enhance the strength of the composites. This composite material is also a potential candidate for the hardware of energy devices including electrochemical energy along with Fuel Cell systems.

For centuries, concrete is the main material most widely used in a building. The strength and durability of this material will decrease over time due to several factors that influence the mechanism of its structural characteristics. Although the compression strength is excellent, it is weak in tensile. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used as an alternative material to replace metal-based engineering materials. This material has properties such as lightweight products, low production costs, easy to form, high tensile and flexural strength, and elastic. The purpose of this review paper is to provide information about the application of FRP composites as reinforcement of concrete structures either as repairs or new structures. Initially, FRP composite materials were used as reinforcement structures for reinforced concrete column-beam joints. The resulting structure has increased the flexural ability due to the load given. The addition of natural fiber (jute) to concrete also increases in the hardness of concrete. Other investigations regarding the application of FRP composites in concrete to improve strength performance are discussed in this paper. Finally, the technique of wrapping FRP composites in concrete in an effort to improve the performance of the resulting structure is also discussed in the paper.
