Impact of Elevated Temperature on the Mechanical Performance and Failure Mechanism of Hybrid Palmyra Palm Fiber-Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Nano SiO2

Key Points

• Mechanical performance declines with increasing temperature, notably affecting epoxy composites.
• The study finds that elevated temperatures lead to a shift in failure mechanisms for hybrid composites.
• Analysis of material properties under thermal conditions shows variability due to nano SiO2 reinforcement.
• Understanding these effects is crucial for enhancing the thermal stability of composite materials.
