dc.description.abstractPresent work deals with the designing of hybrid and woven hybrid composites by hand lay-up method. In this work unique combination of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), and jute fibres having notable differences in mechanical and physical properties have been used as reinforcement in epoxy matrix. The effect of jute fibre loading on the mechanical, physical, chemical and thermal properties of EFB composite was studied. It was observed that incorporation of jute fibre into EFB composite enhanced tensile and flexural properties but reduced impact properties. The hybridization of the EFB composite with jute fibres reduced the void content, and showed improvement in dimensional stability. The effect of stacking sequence on mechanical, physical, chemical resistant, and thermal properties of hybrid composites were evaluated and compared with the epoxy, EFB, and jute composites. A significant improvement was observed in tensile and flexural properties of hybrid composites as compared to EFB composite, whereas the impact strength of EFB composite was found to be higher than those of hybrid composites. It was observed that marked reduction in void content of hybrid composites in different layering pattern as compared to EFB composite. Hybridization of oil palm EFB composites with jute fibres improved the dimensional stability and density of jute composite has higher density as compared to all other composites.en_US
