Study of Mechanical Behaviour Natural Fibers Reinforced Composite Materials

Abstract

In this work the investigation of experimental study of the evaluation of the different natural fiber as reinforcement with epoxy composites of mechanical properties. Composites were fabricated using Sisal/epoxy, Banana/epoxy, and Fish scale/epoxy in compression molding method. All the combination of the composite are made same % of combination (fiber + Resin) were fabricated. The results showed that tensile strength of the composite increased in sisal fiber/epoxy composite. Impact strength of Sisal fiber/epoxy composite shows good properties when compared with reaming two combinations. Likewise flexural strength of Sisal fiber/epoxy composite was found higher than those two combinations.
