Evaluation of Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Particulate Filled Natural Fiber Reinforced Vinyl ester Composites
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Globally natural fiber based structured polymer composite materials are emerging material of various disciplinary. In general the natural fiber composites are low cost, no health hazard, electrical insulation, good mechanical properties etc. The objectives of this present work, to investigate the suitability of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites using sisal fiber with alumina and coconut shell particulate. Initially the sisal fibers were soaked 4% of NaOH concentration about 3 hour to improve the interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. The composite plates were fabricated by various concentration of alumina and coconut shell particulate. The plates were fabricated by compression molding technique. The electrical property of dielectric constant was calculated based on various concentrations of the alumina and coconut shell particulate composites. Finally fabricated composites were sized based on ASTM standards to discover the mechanical properties such as tensile and impact strength for commercialize this work.
