Multi-objective response surface optimization with mechanical, microstructural, and thermal evaluation of areca fiber–SiC reinforced hybrid polymer composites for automotive components
This study investigates the development and comprehensive characterization of areca fibre–silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced hybrid epoxy composites for lightweight automotive applications. Hybrid composites containing 10–25 wt% areca fibre and 5–15 wt% SiC were fabricated and evaluated through mechanical, tribological...
