Through XRD analysis, a microfibrillar angle of 7.1 In this work, both thermal and chemical properties were, for the first time, determined in kenaf fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites. However, relatively limited information is available regarding its epoxy composites. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is one of the most investigated and industrially applied natural fibers for polymer composite reinforcement. Shore D hardness showed a considerable increase in hardness of A40, A50, and A60 compared to A00. Mechanical tests performed on samples A00, A40, A50, and A60 showed that the deformation and tensile strength were reduced with the addition of ceramic reinforcement. Samples A80 and A70 had the lowest DOP result (15.98 mm and 17.98 mm respectively) indicating that these samples had the best ballistic performance. In addition, depth of penetration (DOP) and energy absorption tests were performed with chronograph simulating. After processing, the composites were evaluated by tensile tests, Izod impact, and Shore D hardness. The composites were processed by hot pressing, with the addition of ceramic fillers in fractions of 0, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 wt%, forming the sample groups A00, A40, A50, A60, A70, and A80. This article explores the ballistic and mechanical performance of HDPE matrix composites reinforced with alumina and silicon carbide particles, to be used as lightweight body armor.
