Tensile and Impact Properties of Natural Fiber Hybrid Composite Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
This paper is a review on the tensile and impact properties of natural fiber hybrid composites. Natural fibers are having good mechanical properties, high specific strength, low cost, bio-degradable and easily can recyclable through thermal methods. In this paper two different hybrid composites were manufactured by compression molding and properties of tensile and impact results are conducted as per ASTM standards. In this project three different fibers such as sisal, jute and glass with thermosets epoxy resin used with weight ratio of fiber to resin as 15:15:70.Results showed that sisal/glass hybrid composite has more tensile and impact strength while comparing to sisal/jute hybrid composite
