Advances in Hybrid Composite Analysis: A Review of Banana/Glass Fiber Epoxy Composites
Nuresh Kumar Khunte, Dr.S.P.Pandey, Dr.Vinay Chandra Jha
Abstract
Hybrid composites, particularly those incorporating banana and glass fibers in an epoxy matrix, have emerged as innovative materials with a broad spectrum of applications. This review paper explores the advances in the analysis of banana/glass fiber epoxy composites, focusing on their mechanical and crystallographic properties. We delve into the unique characteristics of these materials and their influence on tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, compression strength, and fatigue properties. Additionally, we examine the methods of crystallographic analysis, the role of crystallography in composite properties, and microstructural findings. The synergy between natural and synthetic fibers in these composites, along with the versatile epoxy matrix, offers a compelling avenue for optimizing composite performance. This review encapsulates recent research developments in the field, shedding light on the exciting prospects and challenges of these hybrid materials.
