A Review on Hybrid Composites Reinforced With Sisal Fibers, Glass Fibers, Steel Fibers and Prosopis Juliflora
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Natural fibers have the advantage that they are renewable resources and have marketing appeal. These agricultural wastes can be used to prepare fiber reinforced polymer composites for the commercial use. Among the various natural fibers, sisal is of particular interest that its composites have high impact strength besides having moderate flexural and tensile properties compared to other lignocellulosic fibers. Applications of composite materials to structures have presented the need for engineering analysis. The present experimental study aims at learning the mechanical behavior of hybrid natural fiber composites. The mechanical properties of vinyl ester reinforced with sisal fiber, glass fiber, steel fiber and prosopis juliflora is evaluating. The samples are manufactured using hand lay-up technique where the stacking of piles was alternate. The present work focuses on the fabrication of polymer matrix composite by using natural fiber like sisal fiber, metallic fiber like steel fiber, non - metallic fiber like glass fiber and calculating the material characteristics by conducting tests like tensile strength test, impact strength test and flexural strength test.
