The main goal of this paper is the evaluation of the performances reversibility of hybrid composites when they are dried after being aged in salt-fog environment. To this aim, epoxy …
This research presents tensile modulus and strength of flax-glass hybrid FRP (HFRP) flat coupons with different fibre volume fractions and fabric stacking sequences under constant …
Flax is the strongest natural fiber used as reinforcement for polymer-based composites due to its ecological properties, low specific gravity, renewability, biodegradability, recyclability …
The global drive towards a circular economy that emphasizes sustainability in production processes has increased the use of agro‐based raw materials like natural fibres in …
In this paper, an analysis of the hygroscopic and hygroelastic behaviours of unidirectional flax fibre-reinforced epoxy composite is presented. Samples of this composite material were …
Natural fibre composites (NFCs) are not durable in the long run because of the susceptibility of natural fibres to environmental conditions and specifically moisture. Hybridizing NFC …
