Abstract
Physical, mechanical, thermal and morphological analysis of date palm mat (DPM) and palmyra palm fruit (PPF) fiber reinforced high density polyethylene hybrid composites
Highlights
Hybrid composite materials are made by combining two or more different types of fibers in single matrix phase or single reinforcing phase with multiple matrix phases or multiple reinforcing and multiple matrix phases
Khatun AM (2019) Physical, mechanical, thermal and morphological analysis of date palm mat (DPM) and palmyra palm fruit (PPF) fiber reinforced high density polyethylene hybrid composites and Palmyra Palm (Borassus flabellifer) fruit fibers were collected from the rural area of Jashore, Bangladesh
It reveals that the quantity of water absorption of the composites increases with the increase of fiber content
Summary
Hybrid composite materials are made by combining two or more different types of fibers in single matrix phase or single reinforcing phase with multiple matrix phases or multiple reinforcing and multiple matrix phases. The mechanical properties of hybrid composites depend on the fiber length, fiber orientation, weight fraction of the reinforcement, interaction between fiber and matrix [1]. The presence of fiber or other reinforcement in a thermoplastic matrix increases the composite strength. Several studies on the hybrid composites like Jute/sisal and epoxy, bamboo and glass fiber reinforced epoxy, banana/ pineapple and epoxy, banana fiber reinforced polypropylene, Glass-Hemp-Banana Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites showed better mechanical properties [8,9,10,11,12]
