Abstract
This paper present the flexural properties of hybrid synthetic/Napier fibres reinforced epoxy composites. The synthetic materials used were carbon and glass fibres. The composites were fabricated using the vacuum infusion method. Napier grass and synthetic fibres were used as reinforcement materials would be mixed with the epoxy resin. The samples were differed by volume fractions. The flexural tests has been conducted using a universal testing machine according with ASTM standard D790. The flexural strength and modulus of the hybrid synthetic/Napier fibre reinforced epoxy composites increased as the content of the synthetic fibre content increased. The flexural properties of the hybrid carbon/Napier reinforced epoxy composites were observed higher than the hybrid glass/Napier reinforced epoxy composites.
