A Comprehensive Review on Mechanical, Thermal, and Dielectric Properties across Various Fiber-Reinforced Systems

Abstract

An extensive review has been conducted into the complex realm of fiber-reinforced composite materials, capturing a diverse range of studies exploring the mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties of composite materials. Review primarily focused on Aramid/glass hybrid composites, single carbon fibers, polypropylene composites, hybrid composites with varied glass-to-carbon ratios, and the impact of alkali and SLS treatment on Banana/Kenaf hybrid composites. Investigations into nonlinear mechanical behavior of laminates, tensile properties of glass mat/epoxy composites, and aeronautical grade carbon-epoxy composites provided valuable insights. Studies also touched upon the effects of thermal shock on advanced composites, mechanical properties of Araldite matrix composites with hybrid palms-Kevlar fibers, and Glass & Kevlar woven fabric/epoxy composites. The manufacturing and evaluation of angle-interlock Kevlar composites and the development of thermoplastic matrix composites were addressed, shedding light on advancements in fabrication techniques. Additionally, evaluations of woven factors for different fibers and matrices and the mechanical properties of araldite matrix composites with hybrid carbon-Kevlar fibers were explored. This comprehensive overview provides insights into a wide range of materials, fabrication techniques, and property evaluations in the field of composite materials.
