| Summary: | 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.
