Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of hybridizing Kevlar and glass fibers on the tensile and Charpy impact properties of their composites. Produced hybrid samples were designed as unbalanced and asymmetric structures in terms of different mixing ratios between woven Kevlar and S-glass fibers, and their tensile properties were determined using ASTM standards. A series of Charpy impact tests were performed to evaluate the amount of impact strength and absorbed energy by impacting each side of the hybrid composite samples. When the hybrid samples were impacted on the surface of the Kevlar side, they exhibited higher impact resistance compared with glass side impact. The resulting degree of hybridization effects showed that addition of Kevlar layers instead of glass layers contributed a significant increase in impact strength and absorbed energy of the overall composite laminate.
