Abstract

Currently, the attractiveness of biomaterials is of unrecognized importance due to the potential substitution of natural materials used in manufacturing industries. Bio-composite materials are made from natural fibers or natural resins, which consist of fibers as reinforcement. Bio-based fibers such as jute, sisal, linen, hemp, bamboo, hair, wool, silk, etc. are extracted from plant, animal, and mineral sources. In this study, two reinforced materials with epoxy polymer were used, one is pure flax and the other is flax/hemp hybrid. Mechanical performance in terms of tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength was calculated. Tensile strength of linen/hemp epoxy composite was found to be 125 MPa which is much more than linen/epoxy composite that achieved tensile strength of 64 MPa. Linen/hemp epoxy composite showed maximum flexural strength of 68.51 MPa as compared to linen/epoxy showed 34.97 MPa. © 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
