“…The performance of these hybrid composites highly influenced by types the matrix used, length and shape of individual fibres, fibre-matrix interface bonding, and volume fraction of the natural/synthetic fibres [5]. There were few investigations on the previous studies on the impact of changing the quantity of fibre loading on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites comprising of natural fibres and glass fibre reported which amongst them are sisal/glass [6], kenaf/glass [7], okra/glass [8] and jute/glass [9] hybrid composites. Mishra et al investigated the water take-up of hybrid composites is low compared to un-hybridized composites [6].…”

“…Mishra et al investigated the water take-up of hybrid composites is low compared to un-hybridized composites [6]. Mechanical degradation of the polymeric composites due to moisture absorption have been studied by several researchers [6,8,9]. The length of the fibres and the hybridization ratio utilized for the reinforcement are highly significant towards the mechanical properties and moisture absorption of and polymeric composites.…”

Phan Braga and Magalhaes have studied that jute/glass composites, which consisted of a larger quantity of jute fibre have high moisture content than those that have a larger quantity of glass [9]. Recently, research conducted on Napier grass fibres suggested possible alternatives as reinforcement material in polymer composites [1,2,10].…”

Effects of fibre loading and moisture absorption on the tensile properties of hybrid Napier/glass/epoxy composites The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of moisture absorption on the mechanical degradation of hybrid Napier/glass-epoxy composites. The hybrid Napier/glass-epoxy composites plates were produced by the vacuum infusion method using epoxy resin as a matrix. The hybrid composite specimens were tested after following 50 h of water immersion. The moisture content decreased as the glass fibre content increased. The wet and dry hybrid composite samples were subjected to tensile tests. The incorporation of the glass fibre into the Napier grass fibre-epoxy composites enhanced their tensile strength and tensile modulus. The tensile strength and tensile modulus of the hybrid Napier/glass-epoxy composites (24/6-70 vol%) were 43 MPa and 3.2 GPa, respectively. However, the tensile strength and tensile modulus properties highly degraded under wet conditions.

“…In processing of fiber reinforced polymer composites, different manufacturing techniques are suitable depending on the type of polymer composite [1]. In the past decade, research works were carried out on different types of fiber reinforced polymer composites to investigate different mechanical and tribological properties [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. From these investigations, the obtained results revealed that properties of the composites were influenced by a number of operating parameters, types of matrix and reinforced materials.…”

Abstract. In this research study, glass fiber (GF) reinforced polypropylene (PP)-nylon 6 (PA6) polymer blend composites were prepared using injection molding process. Specimens of four different compositions such as 80%PP+20%PA6, 80%PP+18%PA6+2%GF, 80%PP+16%PA6+4%GF and 80%PP+14%PA6+6%GF were prepared. In the injection molding process, suitable process parameters were selected depending on the type of composite specimen in producing defects free dog bone shaped specimens. Flexure and impact tests were carried out according to ASTM standard. The important flexure properties such as flexural modulus, flexural yield strength, flexural strength and flexural strain were investigated. The obtained results revealed that flexural modulus of 80%PP+20%PA6 polymer blend is the lowest and the polymer blend composite shows steadily improved modulus as the glass fiber content is increased. Results also showed that flexural strength of pure polymer blend is the lowest but it improves gradually when the glass fiber content is increased. Impact test results revealed that impact strength of 80%PP+20%PA6 polymer blend is the highest whereas all the composites show reduced impact strength or toughness. It is noticed that 80%PP+14%PA6+6%GF composite exhibits the lowest impact strength. IntroductionThe applications of polymer blend composites for different engineering components are gaining popularity according to industrial requirements. These polymer blend composites are suitable replacement for conventional materials due to high strength and stiffness. In order to enhance the mechanical properties, different thermoplastic polymer blends can be reinforced by different types fibrous materials. In processing of fiber reinforced polymer composites, different manufacturing techniques are suitable depending on the type of polymer composite [1]. In the past decade, research works were carried out on different types of fiber reinforced polymer composites to investigate different mechanical and tribological properties [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. From these investigations, the obtained results revealed that properties of the composites were influenced by a number of operating parameters, types of matrix and reinforced materials.
