“…The addition of only PMMA (10 vol%) to the matrix increased the flexural strength and flexural modulus at the expense of elasticity compared to the composite reinforced only with glass fabric. The introduction of both PMMA beads (10 vol%) and SiC particles (1 vol%) increased the tensile and flexural strengths by 8% and 37%, respectively, compared to the fiber composite and 32% and 23%, respectively, compared to the sample containing PMMA [ 41 ]. Rahmat et al prepared glass-fiber-reinforced composites with boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT).…”

Polymer fiber composites are increasingly being used in many industries, including the defense industry. However, for protective applications, in addition to high specific strength and stiffness, polymer composites are also required to have a high energy absorption capacity. To improve the performance of fiber-reinforced composites, many researchers have modified them using multiple methods, such as the introduction of nanofillers into the polymer matrix, the modification of fibers with nanofillers, the impregnation of fabrics using a shear thickening fluid (STF) or a shear thickening gel (STG), or a combination of these techniques. In addition, the physical structures of composites have been modified through reinforcement hybridization; the appropriate design of roving, weave, and cross-orientation of fabric layers; and the development of 3D structures. This review focuses on the effects of modifying composites on their impact energy absorption capacity and other mechanical properties. It highlights the technologies used and their effectiveness for the three main fiber types: glass, carbon, and aramid. In addition, basic design considerations related to fabric selection and orientation are indicated. Evaluation of the literature data showed that the highest energy absorption capacities are obtained by using an STF or STG and an appropriate fiber reinforcement structure, while modifications using nanomaterials allow other strength parameters to be improved, such as flexural strength, tensile strength, or shear strength.

“…The addition of filler material aids in strengthening the interfacial strength between matrix and reinforcement, which aids in the efficiency of the base matrix to transmit load, hence boosting composite performance [5]. Also, fibres have a larger load-sharing capacity than particles and they are vital additions when striving for highperformance polymer composites for different purposes [6,7]. The use of polymeric hybrid composites in electronic applications has increased due to their high performance, especially those that have been hybridized with particles and fibres [8].…”

Hybrid polymer compounds have become modern times, as their applications have increased, especially those reinforced with fibers and molecules due to their high performance, which allows them to be used in different applications. In this research, the dependence of the thermal conductivity and density of epoxy compounds on the volume fraction ratio of the reinforcements including carbon fibers, silicon carbide and alumina will be discussed. new hybrid epoxy compounds have been developed. The epoxy compounds reinforced with plain weave carbon fibers with different volume fractions of micro-particles of silicon carbide and alumina were prepared by hand lay-up. The physical properties including thermal conductivity and density of hybrid epoxy compounds were determined experimentally. The results showed an increase in the thermal conductivity by increasing the proportion of silicon carbide and alumina without affecting the density of the epoxy compound. This high improvement in thermal conductivity with low density in these hybrid epoxy composites have been driven them as possible nominations for electronic devices. The optimum content of hybrid epoxy composite for electronic applications is at SiC 10% and Al2O3 5% with 15 carbon fiber and 70 epoxy. Thus, a new polymer-based compound with improved thermal conductivity for electronic applications was produced.
