Experimental Investigation of Thermal properties of sisal fiber reinforced composite and effect of SiC filler material
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
With a view of exploring the potential use of natural recourses, we made an attempt to fabricate sisal fiber polymer composites by hand lay-up method. Natural fiber composites are re newa bl e , c h e a p and biodegradable. Their easy availability, lower density, higher specific properties, lower cost, satisfactory mechanical and thermal properties, noncorrosive nature, makes them an attractive ecological alternative to glass, carbon or other man-made synthetic fibers. The main objective of this work is to investigate effect of silicon carbide (SiC) on thermal properties of sisal natural fiber reinforced polyester composites. The composites with and without silicon carbide (SiC) have been made by incorporating 100% biodegradable sisal fibers as reinforcement in the polyester matrix. Three different samples with 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% SiC powder are considered. With the addition of SiC filler powder, thermal conductivity increases, specific heat capacity gradually increases then decreases, thermal diffusivity decreases and thermal stability improves with SiC powder.
