Study of Hybrid FRP Composite Made of Flax and Hemp Fibers with Kevlar (original) (raw)

There is an enormous scope to develop suitable hybrid composites materials for various types of applications to replace the costly and heavier conventional materials. In this paper, a FRP composite made of flax and hemp as natural fibers and outside face sheet of kevlar as synthetic fibers is studied for flexural and impact properties. The flexural strength for developed panel was 238.3 MPa with flexural modulus of 4.02 MPa with high impact energy upto 24J with less damage area.
