Implication

Randomized trial assesses mechanical properties of carbon/aramid hybrids under thermal conditioning, suggesting optimal performance at lower temperatures.

Key Points

This research aims to determine how thermal conditioning influences the mechanical properties of carbon/aramid intra-ply hybrid thermoplastic composites. It specifically investigates performance across different temperature ranges.
Manufactured laminates using hand lay-up assisted vacuum infusion with a liquid thermoplastic matrix.
Conducted mechanical testing at temperatures of −50, −25, 0, +25, and +50 °C.
Performed tensile, flexural, and single-edge notch bending tests to evaluate temperature-dependent mechanical responses.
At +50 °C, tensile strength decreased by 9.00 %, flexural strength by 19.52 %, and apparent fracture toughness by 9.04 %.
Specimens at −50 °C achieved a tensile strength of 538.50 MPa and flexural strength of 389.90 MPa.
Mechanical performance is primarily influenced by matrix and interfacial effects.
