Experimental Study of Natural / Synthetic Fibers Efficiency on the Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials

The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, The aim of this research is to evaluate the examined samples by developing new materials with optimal mechanical functioning. In fact, natural fiber composites (NFCs) have become a promising alternative to synthetic fiber composites using of specific plants such as jute, to enhance sustainability and environmental safety. The project purpose is to produce sustainable fibers, despite the reassuring results of jute; there are countless prospects to improve its mechanical properties by blending it with other materials to enhance the mechanical properties. The obtained results from hybrid composite samples, mostly those combining glass fibers and jute on the one hand, and jute with steel networks on the other hand, compared with jute specimens (mats) and glass fibers specimens (randomly oriented), demonstrates a clear advantage in mechanical performance through higher ultimate strength and fatigue strength values. Thus, these composites develop into high-performance, lightweight, and eco-friendly alternatives that satisfy the requirements of advanced engineering. Because of their biodegradability and sustainability, natural fibers are used in a range of industries, including piping system repair, construction, furniture, mechanical installations including automobiles, aircraft, ships, and medical applications such as artificial organs.
