Investigation on mechanical behaviour of twisted natural fiber hybrid composite fabricated by vacuum assisted compression molding technique

A Review Onsandwich and Natural Fiber Composites

“…While testing of the mechanical properties of banana jute hybrid composite discovered that, overall, the hybrid composites had better mechanical properties than mono composites containing the same materials [22]. It was observed that observed a significant improvement in mechanical properties of composites due to the presence of twisted fibre and this also reveals the influence of fibre orientation on mechanical properties [23].Navin Chand et al [23] investigated the effect of sisal fibre orientation on electrical properties of sisal fibre reinforced epoxy composites and discovered that there was a significant effect on the properties observed. Lucas et al [24] investigated the proconcentration of copper in tobacco leaves samples using a minicolumn of sisal fibre loaded with alizarin blue and discovered that the achieved concentrations varied from 0.15 to 0.52 µg g−1.Rashnal Hossain et al [25] studied the tensile behavior of environment friendly jute epoxy laminated composite and discovered that the properties are very defect sensitive.…”

“…VijayaRamnath et al [21,22,23] discovered that hybrid natural composites have excellent tensile and flexural properties investigating the properties of a jute flax based glass fibre reinforced composite. While testing of the mechanical properties of banana jute hybrid composite discovered that, overall, the hybrid composites had better mechanical properties than mono composites containing the same materials [22].…”

Natural fibre composites-A Review

“…Vijaya Ramnath et al [5] investigated twisted Natural Fiber Hybrid Composite on its mechanical behaviour and Fabrication is done by using Vacuum assisted compression moulding technique. To enhance the strength and stiffness of laminates two fibres are sandwiched between the layers of glass fibres.…”

Experimental investigation on stacking sequence of Kevlar and natural fibres/epoxy polymer composites

“…Concluded that hybrid composite has potential properties than single glass fibre reinforced composite beneath collision and flexural loads and also fibre strength is significantly linked with the positioning and orientation of fibres. Vijaya Ramnath et al [11] have studied the effects of twisting the natural fibres (kenaf and neem) and fibre orientation on mechanical properties of composites. The twisted fibre with 45° orientation produced better mechanical properties.…”
