Hardness, tensile and microstructure assessment of carbon/glass hybrid composite laminate / Ahmad Fuad Ab Ghani and Jamaluddin Mahmud

Hybrid composites are often made by combining the high and low modulus fibers. The high modulus fiber, such as Carbon fiber provides the stiffness and load bearing qualities, whereas the low modulus fiber, such as glass fiber makes the composite more durable and low in cost. Nevertheless, the optimu...
