Post curing temperature effect on mechanical characterization of jute/basalt fiber reinforced hybrid composites

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have a fast-growing performance in many areas of engineering as replacement for metallic materials due to their low density, cost, specific mechanical characteristics, and lower energy consumption. The efficiency fiber-reinforced at high temperatures is an issue that requires be well investigated before this type composite can used important fields. aim study examine the change properties homogeneous hybrid prepared from epoxy resin reinforced with jute fabric basalt three diverse post-curing (50°C, 70°C, 90°C). vacuum- assisted transfer molding process was fabricate laminated composites. tensile strength microhardness values post- cured samples were determined by tests Vickers hardness measurements. A water absorption test also performed determine capacity fabricated After testing structures, effect on interaction fiber-matrix interface scanning electron microscopy analysis. results indicate increasing temperature 50 °C 90 °C, improvement 45.48% 34.65% achieved Moreover, show increased reduces 3.53 times.
