| description | ABSTRACT The study investigates the physical properties, strength, and flexibility of the jute/kenaf/glass reinforced composite. The composite is infused with equal quantities of silicon dioxide (SiO2), nanographene, and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at a concentration of 5 wt%, as specified by ASTM standards. The composite was created using a manual lay‐up approach followed by compression molding, using a unique 10‐layer fiber structure. The S4 (5%) composite specimen increased its tensile strength (TS) from 91 to 101 MPa, tensile modulus (TM) from 7.286 GPa to 10.286 GPa, interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) from 9.39 to 19.71 MPa, and glass‐transition temperature (Tg) from 70°C to 85°C. The results show that the 5 wt% MWCNTs have significantly higher TS, TM, ILSS, and Tg than the unfilled composite and SiO2, nanographene, with increases of 5%, 2%, and 10%, respectively. Incorporating MWCNT nanofillers into composites significantly enhances their mechanical and dynamic characteristics when compared to composites without fillers. The study's findings show that adding MWCNTs to the matrix significantly improves performance when compared to the composite without any fillers. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal the underlying reasons of failure in composites, such as layer separation, material fissures, fiber extraction, and fiber breakage. The incorporation of 5 wt% MWCNTs into the jute/kenaf/glass hybrid composite matrix significantly enhances mechanical and dynamic properties compared to composites without fillers. |
