The development of hybrid materials consisting of alternating layers of metal alloys and polymeric composites has revolutionized the engineering field. These metal‐composite laminates combine the merits of each individual component, forming advanced and promising structures which could be employed for structural applications. The low fatigue crack growth rate and high damage tolerance of these materials are particularly fascinating. When developing metal‐composite laminates with superb functional properties, the combination of several metal surface treatment techniques is a common practice to ensure optimum metal‐composite adhesion. Today, a new cutting‐edge manufacturing technique utilizing nano‐porous network film has been established to get rid of the massive infrastructure of conventional autoclave techniques and produce first‐rate materials. Even though various techniques can be adopted to manufacture metal‐composite laminates, the selection of the techniques is highly dependent on the nature of the polymer matrix. After the manufacture of the metal‐composite laminates, post‐stretching is considered a critical step to alleviate the unfavorable residual stress to ensure the optimum performance of these materials for long‐term service. When dealing with natural fibers, it is worth mentioning that the processing temperature should be limited to below 200°C regardless of manufacturing technique to avoid fiber degradation. Metal‐composite laminates consisting of synthetic/natural fibers are considered a viable option to offset the demerits of each kind of fibers. By incorporating fatigue‐resilient natural fibers in the laminates, it is expected that the overall fatigue resistance of the laminates can be apparently enhanced, which is in line with the initial goal of developing metal‐composite laminates.Highlights Fiber bridging offers fiber‐metal laminates with superior fatigue properties. Metal surface treatment is vital to ensure an optimum fiber‐bridging mechanism. A novel out‐of‐autoclave method can produce first‐grade fiber‐metal laminates. Post‐stretching is needed to lessen residual stress in fiber‐metal laminates. Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates are feasible for structural applications.

In recent years, concerns about environmental pollution have led to the development of natural fiber sandwich structures as alternatives to petroleum-based ones. This paper reviews various studies on sandwich structures composed of non-wood cellulose-nature fibers. These fibers mainly include flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, sisal, coir, and bamboo. The studies are classified based on the type of fibers, the components in which they are used, and experimental tests/numerical investigations. Furthermore, a few suggestions for future research in the field of eco-friendly sandwich structures are made.

“…2022, 12, 1869 2 of 11 fibre-reinforced polypropylene composite bonded to aluminium skins was developed by Malingam et al [12], and 3D jute fibre composites with aluminium skins were evaluated by Hussain et al [13]. The chemically treated kenaf/PP FMLs showed a significant increase in terms of tensile modulus and flexural strength (~74%) compared to the laminate composites with the chemically untreated kenaf fibres [12]. Jute-based FMLs with an interlocked 3D woven fabric architecture showed consistent larger mechanical properties than analogous jute fibre-reinforced composites [13].…”

Impact Properties of Novel Natural Fibre Metal Laminated Composite Materials

Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) are lightweight structures with high structural performance and are suitable for many industrial applications. This work describes the impact behaviour of novel sisal fibre-reinforced aluminium laminates (SiRAL) and their dependence upon the orientations of the fibres, the composite core used and the surface treatment of the metal skins. A cold-pressing technique is used to produce SiRALs in six configurations. The FMLs here also have treated or untreated aluminium skins (2024 T3) and three different types of core materials (0°/90° fabric, ±45° fabric and random matt). The ±45° core treated SiRAL provides the highest energy absorption and deflection properties. The pre-treatment of aluminium skins using sandpaper, deep cleaning and primer significantly affects the delamination of the panels under bending impact. The findings reveal that the SiRAL concept is a promising multifunctional FML suitable for different applications that require lightweight, bending and impact performance, together with sustainability characteristics.
