Fabrication and Analysis of Natural Fibres Reinforced Composite Material

Abstract

Bio composite materials are synthesized using natural cellulose fibers as reinforcements together with matrix, which have attracted the attention of researchers due to their low density with high specific mechanical strengths, availability, renewability, degradable and being environmental-friendly. The bio-composite are prepared with the unsaturated polyester matrix and fibers such as jute, sisal, coconut, areca using compression molding process with appropriate proportions. The fabricated composite material are planned to evaluate its mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, water absorption and compression strength.
