Development and Characterization

Natural Fibre Mat Reniforced Polymer Hybrid composite materials have great potential for engineering material in many applications. In this book, the Mechanical and Thermal properties of Bamboo and Flax Mat Reinforced Polymer Hybrid Composite were studied. The Hand Lay-up Technique was adopted for the fabrication of hybrid composite materials. The mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, tensile modulus, water absorption, and impact strength of the hybrid composites were determined as per ASTM standards. SEM observation reports the fracture behaviour of hybrid composite material and also the thermal properties such as DSC, and TGA of the hybrid composites were determined. The mechanical and thermal properties were improved as the mat reinforcement content increased in the matrix material.
