64. Tensile and Flexural Property Analyses of Glass/Carbon Embedded Hybrid Natural Fibre Composites

The composites developed from natural fibre have brought indisputable advantages over synthetic materials in terms of nontoxicity, efficient waste disposability, comparable strength, etc. Some automotive structures such as in aerospace and motor racing vehicles, strength-to-weight ratio is precisely imperative and fibre-reinforced composite materials are used to develop such structures with critical stiffness and weight sensitivities. The environmental effect and the subsequent failure of the fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) have led to the study of its different mechanical properties. In this work, the fibre-reinforced composite material was fabricated with hybrid jute–coir fibre and polyester resin matrix embedded with glass/carbon fibres. Tensile and flexural strength of the developed natural fibre composites are tested using universal testing machine (UTM) as per the ASTM standards. The sample C2 [jute 75% + coir 25% and carbon 100% of 30% and 15% of total composite composition in weight percentage (wt%)] with yield, ultimate and flexural strength of 118, 122 and 81.04 MPa in-errantly proved to possess an upper edge over jute–coir–glass composites upon testing.
