Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Surface Treated Jute-Basalt Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Epoxy Composites: A Review

This study delves into enhancing the mechanical properties of jute-basalt fiber reinforced hybrid epoxy composites through surface treatment methods, considering the eco-friendly nature of natural fibers. Natural fibers, such as jute, possess inherent sustainability due to their renewable sources, biodegradability, and low environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives. The investigation arises from the demand for sustainable materials with superior performance in engineering applications. The focus is on optimizing interfacial bonding between fibers and the epoxy matrix to improve overall mechanical performance. Experimental studies assess the impact of different treatments and fiber compositions on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance. Ultimately, this research aims to advance the development of sustainable, high-performance composite materials by clarifying the relationship between surface treatments, fiber composition, and mechanical properties in jute-basalt fiber reinforced hybrid epoxy composites.
