Development and Properties of Hybrid Composites

Abstract

The Flexural and tensile properties and Scanning electron Microscope analysis of Aramide Onion Glass fibers Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid composites were studied The effect of alkali treatment of the Aramide Onion Glass fibers on these properties was also studied These properties found to be higher when alkali treated glass fibers were used in the hybrid composites The elimination of amorphous hemi-cellulose with alkali treated leading to higher crystallinity of the Aramide Onion Glass fibers with alkali treatment may be responsible for these observations The author investigated the interfacial bonding between Aramide Onion Glass reinforced epoxy composites The effect of alkali treatment on the bonding between Aramide Onion Glass composites was also studied
