Electrical and Mechanical Performance of Hybrid and Non-hybrid Composites

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...

Influence of Different Fillers on Natural Rubber Composites to Assess Mechanical Performance

Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

Effect of starch treatment and hybridisation on the mechanical properties of natural fibre composites

In this investigation, studies are carried out on the mechanical properties of hybrid polymer composites. Hybrid composites can reach a better combination of both artificial and natural fibre properties. Different weight percentages of jute fibres were hybridised with coconut sheath to produce the composites through compression moulding. Composites were produced using untreated and treated fibr...

Mechanical Properties of Angle Ply Laminated Composites- A Review

The purpose of this study is to review many of the available guidelines for Polymer composite materials. Guide lines for failure mode, laminates orientation, winding angle, water absorption, as they strongly influence the mechanical properties of composite materials. The present review is focused on composite laminates made of glass, carbon, graphite, hybrid and natural fiber composites, since ...
