Mechanical Characterization of Flax and Bamboo (BFBF) Mat Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid Composite
Keywords:
Hybrid composite, Hand layup technique, ASTM standards.Abstract
Hybrid composite materials are the great potential for engineering material in many applications. Hybrid polymer composite material offers the designer to obtain the required properties in a controlled considerable extent by the choice of fibers and matrix. The properties are tailored in the material by selecting different kinds of fiber incorporated in the same resin matrix. In the present investigation, the mechanical properties of Bamboo and flax mat reinforced epoxy hybrid composite were studied.The hand lay-up technique was adopted for the fabrication of hybrid composite materials. The mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength, water absorption of the hybrid composites were determined as per ASTM standards.The mechanical properties were improved as the fibers reinforcement content increased in the matrix material.SEM observation reports the fracture behavior of composite material.
