2. ABSTRACT
• Composite materials are the advanced materials which are
used in almost all engineering and non-engineering
applications.
• Hybrid materials of any class are essential for current
demands.
• This project deals with hybrid effect of composites made
of jute/glass fibers which are fabricated by Hand-Lay up
method.
• The properties of this hybrid composites will be
determined by various tests like tensile, compression and
impact tests are carried out by based on ASTM standards.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Composite is a material made from two are more constituent materials
with significantly different physical or chemical properties.
• Composite material is a multiphase system consisting of matrix material
and reinforcement material.
• Natural fibre reinforced composite materials are considered as one of the
new class of engineering materials.
• Among all the natural fibre reinforcing materials jute appears to be a
promising material because it is relatively inexpensive and commercially
available in the required form.
• Glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) is a fibre reinforced polymer made
of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibres of glass.
• The mechanical properties of jute and glass fibre is increased by
incorporating the epoxy resin which helps in increasing their tensile and
impact strength.

4. OBJECTIVES
• To fabricate the natural composites.
• To fabricate the synthetic composites.
• To fabricate the hybrid composites.
• To determine the tensile strength of all composite specimens.

5. LITRATURE REVIEW
• Rahul et.al.[1] studied the history, types, fabrication technique, advantages,
disadvantages and application of composite materials in depth. International Journal
of Advances in Science Engineering and Technology ISSN: 2321-9009, Vol-4, Iss-
3, Spl. Issue-2 Sep.-2016
• Ramesh et.al.[2] compared and evaluated the properties of hybrid Glass fiber and
sisal/jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites. To know the fractured surface and
material morphology they used Scanning Electron microscope(SEM) and
concluded that incorporation of sisal fibre with GFRP exhibited superior properties
than the jute fiber reinforced GFRP composites performed better in Flexural
properties.
• Jawid et.al.[3] studied the effect of jute fiber loading on tensile and dynamic
mechanical properties of oil palm epoxy composite and concluded that the overall
use of Hybrid system was found to be effective in increasing tensile and dynamic
mechanical properties of the oil palm epoxy composite probably due to the
enhanced fiber/matrix interface bonding.
• Satyendra et. al.[4] focused on only the fabrication of composite materials using
jute and glass fiber also studied that the increased use of the composite materials in
erosive work environment.

7. METHODOLOGY
Hand lay-up is a molding process
where fiber reinforcements are
placed by hand then wet with the
resin.
Procedure followed in Hand layup method :
Step 1:
Mixing of epoxy and hardener by the ratio
of 100:10 grm as shown in fig 10.
Fig 9.Hand layup method
Fig 10

8. Step 2: A split mould (ModteK sheet) of 250X200
mm is used for compressing the specimen. And
cleaning the surface of the mould by waste cotton
wool as shown in fig 11.
Fig 14
Fig 11
Step 3: Marking the glass fiber as per the standard
dimension and cutting the Glass fiber according
to the marking as shown in fig 12.
Fig 12
Step 4: Uniform distribution of Resin on the
mould applying the first Glass fiber layer
on the mould surface as shown in fig 13.
Fig 13
Step 5: Poring and uniform distribution of resin
on the layer of glass fiber and applying another
layer of glass fiber on the primary layer (fig 14).

9. Step 6: After the successive lamination of 8
layers of glass fiber, applying the peel ply.
Fig(15)
This peel ply fabric absorbs some of the
matrix resin and becomes an integral part of the
laminate.
After peel ply layer, applying the releasing film
layer to reduce the chance of the product sticking
and ease ejection. Fig(16)
After the layer of releasing film applying the
breather material to absorb the excessive resin.
(fig 17)
Fig 17
Fig 18
Step 7: Applying the load on the laminate and kept
it for 24 hours for curing. (fig 18)
Fig 15 Fig 16

10. Step 8: After 12 hrs , removing the
weight from the fabricated mould
(fig 19).
Step 9: After the removal of breather
material, the releasing film is also removed
(fig 20).
Fig 19 Fig 20
Fig 21
Step 10: Removing the peel ply from the
composite (fig 21).
Fig 22
Step 11: Finally, fabricated glass composite is
obtained (fig 22).

12. CONCLUSION
• Natural composite was fabricated.
• Synthetic composite was fabricated.
• Hybrid composite was fabricated.
• All these composites were fabricated using hand layup method
as per ASTM D-3039 standard.
• Due to COVID-19 pandemic tensile test has not carried out.

13. ADVANTAGES
• Light in weight and lower density.
• High creep resistance.
• High resistance to impact damage.
• Can be molded into any shape and size.
• They possess excellent anti-corrosion and anti-chemical properties.
• Wastage can be reduced in the fabrication of composites.
DISADVANTAGES
• Suitable for high temperature applications.
• They have low flash and fire points.
• Composites are brittle so easily get damaged.
• Reuse and disposal may be difficult.
• Difficult to attach.
• Cost can fluctuate.

14. APPLICATIONS
• Infrastructure: construction and repair wide variety of
infrastructure applications from buildings and bridges to road
and railways.
• Fiber reinforced plastics is extensively used to make pipes,
roofing, storage containers, industrial floorings, automotive and
marine bodies.
• Used in sporting goods and light weight orthopedic composites.
• Storage devices: post boxes, grain storage silos, bio gas
containers etc.
• Other every day applications: lamp shades, suitcases, helmets,
Furniture chair, table, shower bath units etc.
