Summary: This paper investigates the mechanical properties of a 20% fiber glass reinforced diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (GF/EP) after high temperature aging. Tensile and flexural stress-strain curves of the composite were measured between 85-145 °C in air. The results show a gradual decrease in tensile and flexural strength with increasing aging temperature. Microscopic analysis reveals separation between the glass fibers (GFs) and the epoxy matrix (EP) as well as evident pullout of the GFs. The degradation of mechanical properties can be attributed to cross-linking and chain scission in the composite's initial molecular structure, oxidation of the EP matrix, and the difference in coefficients of thermal expansion between the GFs and EP matrix.

Summary: This study focuses on the comparative study of the effect of alkali treatment on the tensile strength of four types of coir fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. The results show that alkali treatment improves the tensile strength of the unidirectional fiber composite, while it has little impact on the tensile strength of the woven fiber composite.

Summary: The study aims to develop a biopolymer composite made of sugar palm fiber and cassava starch and investigate its physical and structural characteristics. The addition of sugar palm fiber improved the thickness, density, water content, and biodegradability of the material, but had no significant effect on the tensile properties of the composite films.

Summary: Straw fiber was used as reinforcement to improve the performance of epoxy resin-prepared materials. The best defibrillation effect was achieved with alkali pretreatment. The composite materials showed optimal performance with 15% straw fiber filling and alkali treatment, meeting the basic requirements of high-density fiberboard material. Image J software was used to verify the results.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of fiber length and surface modification on the flexural properties of coir fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. The study reveals that the concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution used for fiber treatment plays a significant role in the flexural strength of the composites. However, an increase in NaOH concentration above 4% reduces the flexural strength. It was also found that the increase in fiber length is directly proportional to the flexural strength.

Summary: In this study, sisal fiber reinforced nanosilica and cardanol oil toughened epoxy composites were prepared and characterized. The addition of cardanol oil and nanosilica was found to enhance the load bearing, thermal stability, and antimicrobial properties of sisal-reinforced epoxy composites. The composites showed improved mechanical properties, such as increased tensile strength and modulus, as well as improved impact resistance and hardness values. The antimicrobial properties also improved with the increase in nanosilica and cardanol oil content. These environmentally friendly biocomposites could find applications in various industries including drug and food storage, automotive, structural, and sports goods manufacturing.

Summary: In this study, Cordia Dichotoma natural fiber and granite powder are used to reinforce epoxy resin and create a hybrid composite. The results show that granite powder is a good filler material for improving the mechanical properties of the composite, and it also helps reduce water absorption and chemical resistance.

Summary: The study developed environmentally friendly silicone composites using sugar palm fiber and silicone rubber. The results showed that increasing filler content led to higher stiffness and viscoelasticity, increased density, moisture absorption rate, and decreased swelling ratio. The morphological analysis indicated that the filler was evenly dispersed in the composite.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of adding graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) to the epoxy matrix and the fiber stacking sequence on the mechanical and impact responses of carbon/aramid hybrid composites. The results show that the location of the aramid fiber has a significant impact on the performance of the hybrid composites. Adding 0.25 wt% GnPs to the epoxy matrix improves the low-velocity impact properties of pure glass and hybrid fiber-reinforced composites, but deteriorates the properties of aramid fiber-reinforced composites. The best improvement in mechanical properties is achieved by adding 0.1 and 0.25 wt% GnPs to the epoxy matrix.

Summary: This study investigates the stress behaviors on a sandwich metal panel made of high-strength steel and magnesium alloy through simulation analysis. The results show that the sandwich metal panel has great potential in reducing vehicle weight, decreasing fractures, and improving energy absorption. A comparison between experimental and simulation results suggests that the sandwich metal panel is promising for future material development, particularly in light armored vehicle applications, with an increment of more than 70%.
