Abstract

Two types of hybrid laminates were manufactured using glass and carbon fiber reinforcements infused with liquid thermoplastic acrylic resin i.e., Elium^®. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis revealed a weaker interface between the Elium^® and glass fibers, with GFRP specimens exhibiting a void content of 1.24%, in contrast to only 0.28% for CFRP specimens. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of the hybrid specimen showed 155% and 380% increases, respectively, when compared to the GFRP specimens. The tensile strain of the hybrid specimen having 2 carbon fabric layers surrounded by 3 glass fabrics on both sides (i.e., G3C2G3 stacking sequence) was 37% higher than that of the CFRP specimens. The flexural test results also showed similar trends.
