Development and Property Evaluation of Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Epoxy Laminate Composite: Jute/E-Glass/Carbon-Fabric-Final Revision

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this investigation, conventional hand layup method was employed to fabricate hybrid epoxy laminate composite. Jute fiber, E-glass fiber and carbon fiber fabrics of 500,200,200 gsm respectively were used as a reinforcements and epoxy with k-6 hardener was used as a matrix material. Tensile, compression and flexural tests were conducted as per the ASTM standards. It is observed that jute/carbon/epoxy laminate of 2mm thickness plate exhibits significant mechanical properties compare to jute/glass/epoxy laminate of 2mm laminate composite.
