Abstract

This report presents study of the mechanical properties and morphology of glass~carbon fiber reinforcement /Polyethylene (PE) hybrid composite. The objectives of thi study are to investigate the effect of various fibers loadtng to the mechanical and physical properties of PE hybrid composite. This study is aJso carried out o to determine th · morphology of glass-carbon fiber reinforced PE hybrid composite at different fiber loading and interfacial adhesion between each other. The glass-carbon fiber was a blend of polyethylene with the precise ratio which was compounded using an internal mixer. Then abricate composite through the processes of crushing the compound and hot press the particle. The co posite is cut mto desired dimen . ions of specimen for tensile test ASTM 0638 flexural test ASTM D 790 impact test ASTM 256 and water absorption test ASTM D570. Through the findings~ it was found that the greater mechanical strength for tensile test was 25wt% for flexural test was 20~/o and for impact te t was 25wt;D/oJn addition~ water absorptton test has shown that the increase o{ fiber loading will reduce the amount of water absorbed. As conclusion it has been found that GlassCarbon fiber with certain percentage fiber loading is suitable as fiber material in hybrid composite significantly in attain greater mechanical properties.
