Abstract

The development of high-performance composite materials has received a lot of attention due to the increasing need for durable, lightweight, and thermally stable structures in complex engineering applications. In this work, hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites are created and characterized by combining Kevlar and Basalt fibers with nanoparticle reinforcement. Through the process of hybridization, the excellent tensile strength and impact resistance of Kevlar are coupled with the compressive properties of Basalt fibers, improving the composite's overall performance.To enhance mechanical and thermal properties, the polymer matrix is supplemented with nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and alumina (Al2O3). These nanofillers improve interfacial bonding, stress transfer effectiveness, and resistance to crack propagation. Previous studies have demonstrated that natural fiber reinforced with Nanotube composites significantly improve tensile and flexural strength as graphene-based reinforcements boost stiffness and fracture toughness.The current work investigates the effects of various nanoparticle concentrations on the mechanical properties (tensile, compressive, and interlaminar shear strength) and thermal behavior of hybrid composites using standardized experimental techniques such as ASTM testing, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The findings demonstrate that adding nanoparticles significantly improves composite performance; nevertheless, an optimal filler concentration is essential since excessive loading leads in agglomeration and reduced efficiency.The findings show how strength, stiffness, and thermal stability are enhanced by the combination of fiber hybridization and nanoparticle reinforcement. These innovative hybrid nanocomposites have a lot of potential for application in the aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors, where high-performance, lightweight materials are crucial.
