Abstract:
Composite materials play a major role in day to day life. These composite materials are used mainly due to their light weight and high strength when compared to synthetic fibers. These natural reinforced fiber composites are used in automobile parts, window panels, cupboards, furniture. These natural fibers have high physical properties than the synthetic fibers. Researches show that synthetic fibers possess less tensile strength and impact strength. Natural fibers have the advantages that they are renewable resources and easily available in nature. Hand lay-up method followed by compression molding was adopted for composite fabrication. Mats of uniform thickness were prepared from chopped banana fibers and glass fibers of particular fiber length. The mats were impregnated in resin and the pre-preg was kept at room temperature up to semi cured stage. Different composite sheets are prepared varying the fiber length and volume fractions. In this project the tensile strength and impact strength of reinforced fibers of banana tree fiber and cotton fiber are determined the banana fibers and cotton fibers are selected due to their abundance availability and less cost. These fibers are fabricated by hand lay-up method process using polyester as resins for reinforcement by two forms as continuous strand mat and woven mat. The fibers are tested by varying the composition of the fiber and the resin.
