A review on mechanical properties of hybrid polymer composites

Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to evaluate research work on fiber-reinforced hybrid composites that have exceptional mechanical properties. Polymers are replacing metal materials as a solution to issues including corrosion, weight, flexibility, and other issues. Hybrid polymers provide the extra benefit of improving mechanical qualities like tensile, impact, and flexural. Nanocomposites, bio nanocomposites, and biopolymers were offered for each form of hybrid composite, along with thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. Through the examined studies, composites are frequently reinforced with fibres for improved mechanical properties. The experimental findings showed that natural fibre stacking patterns had an impact on the mechanical characteristics of natural hybrid composites. Nearly all hybridization of various reinforcing fibres showed synergistic impacts on the mechanical characteristics of the hybrid composite. The finer mechanical characteristics of hybrid polymers supplemented with nanoparticles, however, can be viewed as a favourable property trait. Due to the hybrid composite material's constituent polymers maintaining their separate identities, it exhibits substantial physical and chemical properties in addition to those of the individual polymers.
