Influence of Hybridization on the Pyrolysis and Mechanical Behaviour of Carbon and Flax Fibres Reinforced Epoxy Laminates Under Fire Conditions

Key Points

• Mechanical behaviour is significantly influenced by hybridization during pyrolysis, particularly in fire scenarios.
• Temperature variations between 200-600°C affect the structural integrity of both carbon and flax fibre-reinforced laminates.
• Assessment using pyrolysis experiments evaluates the thermal performance of epoxy laminates under extreme conditions.
• Highlights the necessity for improved fire resistance in composite materials used in aerospace and automotive industries.
