Synthesis, characterization of Banana / Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Based Hybrid Composites
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Natural fiber composites are nowadays being used in various engineering applications to increase the strength and optimize the weight and the cost of the product. Hybridization is a process of incorporating synthetic fiber with natural fiber to get the better material properties. In this connection an investigation has been carried out to make better utilization of banana fiber for making value added products. The objective of the present research work is to study the mechanical and water absorption behaviour of banana/glass fiber reinforced epoxy based hybrid composites. Experiments are carried out as per ASTM standards to find the mechanical properties and water absorption capacity. The effect of fiber loading and length on mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, Impact strength and hardness of composites is studied. In addition to mechanical properties, water absorption capacity of the composite is also studied.
