Abstract
To evaluate the shear property, screw pine fibers are hybridized with glass fibers in a vinyl ester resin matrix. Two types of screw pine/glass fiber reinforced vinyl ester hybrid composites were created (dispersed and skin-core). A hydraulic compression molding method was used to create composites with a total fiber loading of 35.12 vol%. The shear property of composites was evaluated based on their form. After tests, scanning electron microscopy was used to conduct fractographic studies on the fracture surface of the hybrid composite specimen. Furthermore, neat resin samples and Screw pine alone composites were prepared and tested for comparison. The results revealed that the addition of glass fiber increased the shear property of composites. In both types of composites, the composite with 18.59 vol% Screw pine fibers and 16.53 vol% glass fibers has a high level of shear property. However, the skin-core type composites outperformed the dispersed type composites.
