“…The characterization was carried out on hybrid laminates, since they seem to be most promising for semi-or structural applications. A number of studies reported how the addition of glass fibres improved the mechanical, thermal, moisture absorption and weathering properties of the natural fibre composites [23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…It was reported that hemp contains about 61% cellulose (by weight), 24% hemicellulose, 10% lignin, and 3% extractives 8. Several researchers exploited the reinforcing potential of hemp fibers for developing thermoplastic and thermoset composites using different processing techniques 9–21. Hemp in the form of nonwoven fiber mat was used as reinforcement for thermoset resins such as soy oil‐based resin,9 unsaturated polyester resin,10, 11 novolac resin,12 epoxy resin,13 and acrylic resin14 and for thermoplastics such as PP13, 15–17 and polystyrene 18.…”

Natural fiber-based thermoplastic composites are generally lower in strength performance compared to thermoset composites. However, they have the advantage of design flexibility and recycling possibilities. Hybridization with small amounts of synthetic fibers makes these natural fiber composites more suitable for technical applications such as automotive interior parts. Hemp fiber is one of the important lignocellulosic bast fiber and has been used as reinforcement for industrial applications. This study focused on the performance of injection-molded short hemp fiber and hemp/glass fiber hybrid polypropylene composites. Results showed that hybridization with glass fiber enhanced the performance properties. A value of 101 MPa for flexural strength and 5.5 GPa for the flexural modulus is achieved from a hybrid composite containing 25 wt % of hemp and 15 wt % of glass. Notched Izod impact strength of the hybrid composites exhibited great enhancement (34%). Analysis of fiber length distribution in the composite and fracture surface was performed to study the fiber breakage and fracture mechanism. Thermal properties and resistance to water absorption properties of the hemp fiber composites were improved by hybridization with glass fibers. Overall studies indicated that the short hemp/glass fiber hybrid polypropylene composites are promising candidates for structural applications where high stiffness and thermal resistance is required.

“…This may be because of lesser extensibility of jute fibers (1.5-1.8). 22 In woven fabric, fiber yarns of warp direction crossover and under the fiber yarns of weft direction to create an interlocking structure. Under tensile loading, these crimped fibers tend to straighten out, which create high stresses in the matrix.…”

In this article, mechanical performance of isothalic polyester-based untreated woven jute-fabric composites subjected to various types of loading has been experimentally investigated. The laminates were prepared by hand lay-up technique in a mold. Specimens for tests were fabricated as per ASTM standards. All the tests (except impact) were conducted on closed loop servo hydraulic MTS 810 material test system using data acquisition software Test Works-II. From the results obtained, it was found that the tensile strength and tensile modulus of jute-fabric composite are 83.96% and 118.97% greater than the tensile strength and modulus of unreinforced resin, respectively. The results of other properties, such as flexural, in-plane shear, interlaminar shear, impact, etc., also revealed that the isothalic-polyester-based jute-fabric composite have good mechanical properties and can be a potential material for use in medium load-bearing applications. The failure mechanism and fiber-matrix adhesion were analyzed by scanning electron microscope. Effects of long-term immersion in water on mechanical properties are also presented.
