Preparation epoxy based hybrid composites were involved kaolin geopolymer filler, organo-montmorillonite at 3phr by using high speed mechanical stirrer. A mechanical behaviour of neat epoxy, epoxy/organo-montmorillonite and its hybrid composites containing 1-8phr kaolin geopolymer filler was studied upon cyclic deformation (three-point flexion mode) as the temperature is varies. The analysis was determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at frequency of 1.0Hz. The results then expressed in storage modulus (E�), loss modulus (E�) and damping factor (tan d) as function of temperature from 40 oC to 130oC. Overall results indicated that E�, E�� and Tg increased considerably by incorporating optimum 1phr kaolin geopolymer in epoxy organo-montmorillonite hybrid composites.

In previous studies, the effect of the addition of 1 wt% hydrophilic nanoclay on polylactic acid (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) biocomposites was investigated by tensile properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The current studies focus on the effect of addition of 1 wt% hydrophilic nanoclay on mechanical (flexural and impact properties) and dynamic mechanical properties of composites. The composites were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). FTIR spectra show that peak shifting occurs when 1 wt% hydrophilic nanoclay was added to composites. The addition of 1 wt% hydrophilic nanoclay successfully improves the flexural properties and impact resistance of the biocomposites. The storage modulus of biocomposites was decreased when nanoclay was added which indicates that the stiffness of biocomposites was reduced. The loss modulus curve shows that the addition of nanoclay shift twotgin composites become closer to each other which indicates that the incorporation of nanoclay slightly compatibilizes the biocomposites. Tanδindicated that hybrid composites dissipate less energy compared to biocomposites indicate that addition of clay to biocomposites improves fiber/matrix adhesion. Water sorption test shows that the addition of nanoclay enhances water resistance of composites.

The relatively poor mechanical properties of corn fibre (CF) and its green composites have hindered its applications. In this work, sisal fibre (SF) was hybridised with CF to reinforce polylactide (PLA) composites (CF/SF/PLA). The static mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strengths and dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus (E’), damping behaviour (tan δ), glass transition temperature (Tg) of the hybrid composites were determined and, for the first time, hybrid effects on both static and dynamic mechanical properties were evaluated. It is found that the tensile, flexural, impact strengths, and E’ and tan δ peak height, as well as the hybrid effects change with hybrid ratio (SF:CF). It is demonstrated that a hybrid composite with desirable static and dynamic mechanical properties can be produced by optimising the fibre:hybrid ratio.
