Analysis of curaua/glass hybrid interlayer laminates

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the mechanical properties of curaua, glass and hybrid laminates evaluated experimentally with those obtained theoretically using commercial software for composites, and found that the combination of curaoa and glass fibers produced a material with intermediate properties, depending on the type of mechanical loading and the stacking sequence.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres

TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
