The Effect of Hybridization on Mechanical Behavior of Natural / Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The degree of mechanical reinforcement can be obtained by the introduction of glass fiber in biofiber reinforced polyester resin composites. Addition of relatively small amount of glass fiber to the biofiber reinforced polyester matrix enhances the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites. Biofiber is treated with alkali for the improvement of the fiber properties .The surface modification of biofibers such as alkali treatment produces optimum tensile and impact strengths. In order to determine the effects on the coir and sisal fiber composite with the alkali treatment, measures of characterizations will be carried out with the help of characterizing tools such as XRD, SEM. If this hybrid composite shows significant improvement in the characterization values it can be applied in the field of automobile and aerospace applications for weight reducing of the structure without sacrificing the strength.
