Impact test on natural fiber reinforced polymer composite materials
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In this research, natural fibers like Sisal (Agave sisalana), Banana (Musa sepientum) & Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) , Sisal and banana (hybrid) , Roselle and banana (hybrid) and Roselle and sisal (hybrid) are fabricated with bio epoxy resin using molding method. In this work, impact strength of Sisal and banana (hybrid), Roselle and banana (hybridand Roselle and sisal (hybrid) composite at dry and wet conditions were studied. Impact test were conducted izod impact testing machine. In this work micro structure of the specimens are scanned by the Scanning Electron Microscope.
