Investigation of Water Absorption Properties of 2D Interwoven Kevlar–Jute Reinforced Hybrid Laminates

The hygroscopic properties of natural fibers tend to degrade the mechanical composite materials. It is essential investigate influence water absorption behavior on hybrid In this study, laminate materials consisting two different reinforcement materials, i.e., Kevlar and jute in same layer, are considered. Hybrid laminates that have four weaving patterns: plain weave, basket twill satin tested for their characteristics. fiber a naturally extracted subjected chemical treatment. A comparison before after treatment carried out. Mechanical such as tensile strength, compressive flexural impact hardness tested. found improved fibers. weave pattern exhibited negligible defects compared its counterparts. Chemical enabled less being absorbed into using chemically treated material concluded
