Experimental Study of Woven Glass, Bamboo, and Jute Fibre Reinforced in Epoxy Composites

Industries like aerospace, automotive, marine, and transportation require materials that are lightweight yet strong, durable, and impact-resistant. To meet these demands, advanced composite materials are being developed using natural fibres such as bamboo and jute, which are eco-friendly, abundant, and cost-effective. When combined with synthetic fibres like glass, known for its heat resistance and interfacial strength, the mechanical properties of these composites improve significantly. Fabricated using the hand lay-up method with a ۷۰% epoxy and ۳۰% fibre ratio, these materials were tested per ASTM standards. Studies have shown that hybrid composites reinforced with bamboo, jute, and glass fibres offer enhanced tensile, flexural, hardness, and impact strength. The S۱ stacking sequence performed best, with a tensile strength of ۹۵ MPa, modulus of ۱۰۲۸MPa, flexural strength of ۱۹۵ MPa and modulus ۵۴ GPa, impact toughness of ۱۲ J/mm, hardness of ۸۷ RHN, and thermal conductivity of ۰.۲۶ W/m·K. These composites are lightweight, strong, and thermally efficient, making them ideal for rail, power, automotive, marine, and aerospace applications.
