Fabrication and characterization of Thermoplastic Fiber-Reinforced Composites with Hybrid Fabrics

This study investigates the manufacturing methods and properties of four hybrid composite materials, which were produced by using different types of yarns (glass fiber, basalt fiber, and aramid fiber) with carbon fibers. The present study aims to investigate the fabrication techniques and properties of four hybrid composite materials, manufactured by combining carbon fibers with various types of yarns, including glass fiber, basalt fiber, and aramid fiber. The incorporation of hybrid fabrics in the fiber reinforced polymer composite can enhance individual material properties and yield synergistic effects. The study analyzes the differences in impregnation behavior and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, bending, and impact properties of the hybrid composites. The findings of this research offer valuable design parameters for the development of diverse composite materials.
