Abstract
Natural fibers have predominantly gained hobby in reinforcement for hybrid PMC due to free availability, eco-friendly and also with superior mechanical properties. Most of the authors predicted the benefits of using kenaf and jute fiber related polymerized materials in for structural and automotive applications, due to certain drawbacks, which are found in fibers such as greater water-absorption tendency, and simultaneously shows low mechanical strength propertie than the glass fibers. The exceptional properties of kenaf and jute fibers can be solved by hybridization with synthetic fibers. The laminated hybrid composites were prepared from E-glass, jute/kenaf woven fabric as reinforcement for epoxy resin under vacuum bagging process. The fabricated composite laminates were tested for flexural and tensile as per ASTM D790 and ASTM D3039 respectively. Results of the tests are tensile strength and flexural strength is 88.08 MPa of S6 plate and 243.856 MPa of S9 plate. Results proved that the hybrid laminates having the combination of kenaf and glass fibres can improve mechanical properties than that of jute and glass fibres, with the increase in number of glass plies can further increase the mechanical properties.
