Abstract
Long glass and jute fibres were simultaneously incorporated into a PP matrix and the tensile and impact properties of the hybrid composites obtained investigated. Fracture surfaces were characterised by scanning electron microscopy and the properties of the hybrid composites compared with those of composites reinforced with glass fibres only. It was found that composites containing up to 20 wt.% jute fibres exhibited similar tensile properties to those of glass fibre-reinforced composites. The distribution of glass and jute fibres was anisotropic, wherein glass fibres tended to accumulate at the skin region of mouldings, thus orientating towards the resin flow direction. Jute fibres tended to remain at the core regions and were mostly oriented transverse to the flow direction. 11 refs.
