A REVIEW ON DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF HYBRID FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIAL

Abstract

The hybrids composite has emerged and have the potential reinforcement material for composites and thus gain attraction by many researchers. Nature continues to provide mankind generously with all kinds of rich resources in plentiful abundance, such woven fiber carbon hybrid composites. In this composite laminates Kevlar and carbon fiber exhibit higher mechanical properties. So, the composite material shows the highest mechanical properties. This High-performance hybrid composite material has extensive engineering applications such as transport industry, aeronautics, naval, automotive industries. This is mainly due to their applicable benefits have they offer low density, low cost, renewable, biodegradability and environmentally harmlessness and also comparable mechanical properties with synthetic fiber composites. Kevlar fiber and carbon fiber composites were fabricated by using epoxy resin combination of hand lay-up method and cold press method. Specimen is cut from the fabricated laminate according to the ASTM standard for different experiments for tensile test, flexural text, and impact test.
