Enhancing Mechanical and Physical Properties of Jute/JUCO/Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites Through TiO2 and CuO Microparticle Reinforcement

open access: yesSPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2026.
Symmetrical Jute/JUCO/Glass hybrid epoxy composites were reinforced with TiO2 and CuO microparticles. Incorporating 3 wt.% CuO increased tensile strength by up to 63.7%, while 3 wt.% TiO2 maximized flexural and impact properties alongside superior moisture resistance, demonstrating that these fillers significantly enhance natural fiber biocomposites ...

Impact resistance of sisal fiber reinforced concrete

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2018
Concrete is typically a brittle material which is prone to damage when subjected to heavy impact loads. To overcome this weakness, concrete is reinforced with fibers as fibers are effective in withstanding heavy impact loads. The main objective of this experimental investigation is to study the influence of sisal fibers in concrete under impact load ...
