A novel mechanical extraction process was developed to obtain long bamboo fibers be used as reinforcement in structural composites. single-fiber tensile test at four different span lengths for of the species Guadua angustifolia performed. Strength values 800 MPa and Young’s modulus 43 GPa were obtained. Unidirectional fiber/epoxy composites (BFC) produced with untreated alkali-treated evaluate effectiveness new reinforcing material. Flexural tests performed two fiber orientations...
Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of two or more fibre types in a matrix. Such offer design freedom than non-hybrid composites. The aim is often to alleviate the drawbacks one while keeping benefits other. hybridisation can also lead synergetic effects properties that neither constituents possess. Even though fibre-hybrid attractive, they pose challenges terms materials selection conventional, single type This review analyses mechanisms for provides guidance on and matrix describes recent...
