Abstract

The mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid epoxy composites reinforced with carbon fiber (CF) and pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) composites depend upon fiber-matrix interfacial properties. A comparison between the CF composite and hybrid fiber composite was made. Composites were characterized by tensile, flexural and impact, TGA, DMA, and SEM analysis. The results showed that the tensile and flexural strengths are increased with increasing CF content upto 30 wt % in the hybrid composite. CF/PALF fibre can be used for improving the properties of hybrid epoxy composites.
