Investigation of structural behavior in natural and synthetic fiber reinforced multilayer composites based on resin and additives

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In our study, jute natural fiber and glass fiber were preferred as reinforcing elements. Epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester were selected as matrix materials, and sodium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide were used as additives. When the results were analyzed, the samples produced with epoxy yielded good results in tensile and elongation tests compared to the others, while the average values remained the same in bending and impact tests. The presence of additives was also observed in the SEM images and EDS results.
