Tensile and Flexural Properties of Sisal/Jute Hybrid Natural Fiber Composites
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
During the last two decades using natural fiber as reinforcement in polymers has increased drastically. The present research work has been carried out to make use of sisal/jute natural fibers. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and characterization of new set of hybrid natural fiber composites. It is made by reinforcing sisal/ jute fibers with epoxy resin in matrix by using hand layup technique. The natural fibers were extracted by retting and combing process manually. Hybrid composites were prepared using sisal/jute fibers of 0/40, 10/30, 20/20, 30/10, 40/0 weight fraction ratios while overall fiber weight fraction was fixed as 0.4 weight fraction. The tensile and flexural properties were carried out using hybrid composite samples. The results indicated that addition of sisal fiber in jute/epoxy composites up to 50% weight fraction results increasing the mechanical properties.
