“…The minimum error was found for the GGJGG sequence, while the maximum error was observed for the GJJJG sequence. This error was due to voids, non-uniform fibers distribution, and possible layers delamination in the compression molding technique [4,13]. The comparison of force-displacement diagrams of experimental and numerical results for all the specimens are shown in Fig.…”

“…Research has recently directed towards synthesizing natural fiber-based polymer composites, focusing on replacing traditionally used synthetic reinforcements [8][9][10][11][12]. Ali et al [13] studied the flexural response of carbon-jute hybrid composite experimentally and numerically. Drop weight test response was also characterized at fixed 20 J energy for a different combination of carbon-jute hybrid composite.…”

Natural fibers, especially jute fibers, have gained interest in recent decades due to their attractive mechanical properties, high cellulose percentage, low cost, biodegradability, and easy availability. In the present study, flexural and drop weight impact behavior for different weight percentages of glass and jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites are studied experimentally according to ASTM standards. The hybrid composites were prepared through the compression molding technique. Numerical simulations were performed to investigate the predictive flexural response. The leading cause of error between experimental and numerical results is the manufacturing process and the reinforcement's woven nature. On the other hand, the impact strength was studied through drop weight testing at fixed 10 J energy. It is found that damage area decreases with increasing jute percentage in glass/jute hybrid composites, showing that jute fiber contributes more towards the composites' impact strength than glass fiber. Therefore, jute fiber can replace glass fiber in the glass/jute hybrid composite as a natural and eco-friendly constituent. The microscopic study reveals that the outer glass fiber layer helps minimize the stress distribution of jute fiber. A significant drawback of compression molding is the epoxy affluent areas in the composite.

The utilization of synthetic materials stimulates environmental concerns, and researchers worldwide are effectively reacting to environmental concerns by transitioning towards biodegradable and sustainable materials. Natural fibers like jute and sisal have been being utilized for ages in several applications, such as ropes, building materials, particle boards, etc. The absence of essential information in preparing the natural-fiber-reinforced materials is still a challenge for future applications. Chemical treatments and surface modifications can improve the quality of the natural fibers. Natural-fiber-based composites are a potential candidate for many lightweight engineering applications with significant mechanical properties. In the view of the progressive literature reported in the field, this work aims to present the significance of natural fibers, their composites, and the main factors influencing these materials for various applications (automotive industry, for instance). Secondly, we aim to address different surface modifications and chemical treatments on natural fibers and finally provide an overview of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites’ potential applications.

“…In another study, Corbin et al [60] noted that even the structure (like weaving pattern) of reinforced fabrics could influence the mechanical performances of the composites. Furthermore, the incorporation of different natural and synthetic fiber-based fabrics together with polymeric resin could also influence the improved mechanical properties more than the individual reinforcements [61].…”

Fabric-based laminated composites are used considerably for multifaceted applications in the automotive, transportation, defense, and structural construction sectors. The fabrics used for composite materials production possess some outstanding features including being lighter weight, higher strength, and lower cost, which helps explain the rising interest in these fabrics among researchers. However, the fabrics used for laminations are of different types such as knit, woven, and nonwoven. Compared to knitted and nonwoven fabrics, woven fabrics are widely used reinforcement materials. Composites made from fabric depend on different properties such as fiber types, origin, compositions, and polymeric matrixes. Finite element analysis is also further facilitating the efficient prediction of final composite properties. As the fabric materials are widely available throughout the world, the production of laminated composites from different fabric is also feasible and cost-effective. This review discusses the fabrication, thermo-mechanical, and morphological performances of different woven, knit, and nonwoven fabric-based composites.
