Preparation and Investigation of Mechanical and Physical Properties of Flax/Glass Fabric Reinforced Polymer Hybrid Composites

Synthetic reinforced composites affect the environment adversely and have become a global concern, causing increased natural composite demand for sustainability cost effectiveness. Glass is popular material that highly consumed in its superior mechanical strength. As opposed to that, flax obtained from stalks can be used as an alternative reinforcing with synthetic fibers minimize manmade fiber consumption. Hence, this research work addresses few flax/glass-reinforced hybrid by using thermoset polyester matrix. Here, six categories of samples are made, like neat flax, glass, flax/glass fabric composite, followed different stacking layer sequences hand layout techniques during processing. Afterwards, behavior, thermal stability, morphological water absorption were investigated. Among developed samples, glass (NG) exhibits properties, while (NF) shows lowest result. It apparent properties stability between NF NG because, adding fabric, strength increased. Moreover, it noticeable due multiple layers 3 4 show better than consecutive single 1 2. all composites, H4 comparatively having on outermost surface. In summary, demonstrated feasibility automobile inner bodies, household furnishing, home interior decoration.
