The use of composites as materials has developed rapidly due to the many advantages they offer compared to alternative engineering materials. In this study, the researchers used Glass Laminated Aluminium Reinforced Epoxy (GLARE) to analyze the results of bending tests on hybrid laminate composites reinforced with fiberglass and aluminum plates. The method used was vacuum bagging, and the sample was reinforced with epoxy resin combined with carbon nanotube (CNT) nanoparticles and aluminum (AL) powder. This study applied variations in resin as adhesive, surface treatments, and the addition of CNT and AL nanopowders to determine their effects on the bending strength of the composite. The results showed that specimens with surface treatment and nanoparticle additions had higher bending strength compared to those without nanoparticles or surface treatment. The highest bending stress was found in the CNT variation specimens, with an average value of 181.4158 MPa. The lowest average bending stress was observed in the plain specimens without nanoparticles and surface treatment, with a value of 151.766 MPa. Macro photo analysis after the bending test showed adhesive failure in the plain variation (no resin adhered to the aluminum surface), and cohesive failure in the CNT variation (resin adhered to the treated aluminum surface). These findings indicate that the addition of nanoparticles improves bending strength. This research plays an important role in understanding the influence of nano adhesives and nanoparticles on the bending strength of hybrid laminate composites.

The bending test results on specimens reinforced by CNT and AL Powder show that the CNT specimen has a maximum strength of 348.40 N and the highest flexural strength of 181.The main factors that influence are nano reinforcement and rectangular grooves.Macrophotographic observations show that plain specimens experience adhesive failure while CNT specimens experience cohesive failure.Further research is needed for hybrid laminate materials reinforced by CNT powder and AL powder with rectangular grooves so that the results are more optimal.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, terdapat beberapa saran untuk penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dilakukan. Pertama, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai pengaruh variasi komposisi nano aditif (CNT dan bubuk aluminium) terhadap sifat mekanik komposit hybrid GLARE, dengan tujuan menemukan komposisi optimal yang menghasilkan kekuatan dan ketahanan material terbaik. Kedua, penelitian dapat diperluas dengan menguji performa komposit hybrid GLARE dalam kondisi lingkungan yang berbeda, seperti paparan suhu ekstrem, kelembaban tinggi, atau radiasi UV, untuk memahami ketahanannya terhadap degradasi dan memastikan keandalannya dalam aplikasi dunia nyata. Ketiga, studi komparatif perlu dilakukan dengan membandingkan performa komposit hybrid GLARE dengan material alternatif lainnya yang sering digunakan dalam industri kedirgantaraan, seperti komposit serat karbon atau paduan aluminium konvensional, untuk mengevaluasi keunggulan dan kekurangannya serta menentukan potensi aplikasinya yang paling sesuai. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam pengembangan material komposit yang lebih kuat, ringan, dan tahan lama untuk aplikasi di berbagai bidang, terutama dalam industri kedirgantaraan dan otomotif.
