The faculty member in the College of Engineering, University of Al-Mustansiriyah, Dr. Suhad Dawood Salman conducted a study on the effect of partial replacement of synthetic fibers with natural fibers on the monotonic properties of hybrid compounds. The study, in which published in the Industrial Textiles Journal in Clarivate and Scopus, reviewed the effects of naturally woven jute fiber hybridization with carbon-reinforced (PVB) compounds in the dynamic mechanical properties and moisture properties of hybrid compounds, as well as reviewing the effect of temperature on storage plants ('E), loss factor (' E), and damping factor ((tan) via maintaining the relative fiber weight to 60: 40. The study demonstrated that the entire dynamic mechanical properties of jute / carbon based on the fiber content and the stacking sequence, as (H1) showed better properties compared to other hybrids and that the sequence of layers greatly affect the dynamic mechanical behavior of hybrid materials. The study concluded that natural fibers can contribute in developing a new low-cost composite material compared to synthetic fiber formulations linked to reduce the potential harmful effects of petroleum products and it opens up new horizons to be used in military, aerospace, marine and civil structures, while meeting basic selected performance specifications.
