Effect on Mechanical Properties for Jute, Coir and Bamboo Natural Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Based Composites

Authors/Creators

Description

Jute, Coir and Bamboo Natural Fiber composites are considered to have potential use as a reinforcing material in epoxy polymer-based composites because of their good strength, stiffness etc.In present study, mechanical properties for these natural fiber composites were evaluated. Here, these natural fibers are the fiber reinforcement and epoxy polymer resin as a matrix material. Composite were prepared with different longitudinal (Unidirectional) natural fiber reinforced with epoxy-based polymer. Mechanical test i.e. tensile test was performed on UTM machine and the results are reported. The result showed tensile and compressive strength of different unidirectional natural fiber reinforced epoxy polymer composites and presented the conclusion.
