Compressive and impact properties of kenaf/hemp and E -glass fiber hybrid composite
Keywords:
Composite, glass, fiber, Hemp, ReinforcementAbstract
The use of fiber reinforced composites with in aerospace and automotive industries have exploded recently due to environmental issues and health dangers caused by synthetic fiber during disposal and production. The compressive and impact strengths of hybrid composites are presented in this research. Hand-lay-up composites of various thicknesses and combinations are manufactured, and specimens were tested as according ASTM standards. In comparison to other combinations, the compressive and impact strength of the E-Glass-kenaf-hemp-E glass combination is the highest.
