Replacement of Synthetic Fiber with Eco Friendly Natural Fiber As Rein Forcement in Composite Materials and Compare Their Properties
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Polymers are serving to a maximum extent, but they are also posing environmental problems due to their nonjudicious usage. The main problem with most of the polymers is their non- degradable nature which can pollute the environment to an alarming rate. Simultaneously lot of research to develop polymer composites with natural fiber reinforcements is being carried out in various laboratories and research institutes. Natural fibers are biodegradable and can replace the polymer society. In this project, composite materials will be developed for different fiber volume fractions with synthetic fiber and natural fiber as reinforcement. These two developed composites will be compared for tensile, compression, impact and flexural tests. Based on the values obtained in these tests it is expected that the natural fiber composite values may come closer to the values of the synthetic fiber. Thus the aim of the project is to replace the synthetic fiber composite with natural fiber composite, which will be cheaper, widely available, abundant and very much eco-friendly, when compared to synthetic fibers.
