Natural Fiber Reinforced Green Composites with Epoxy Polymer Matrix and its Mechanical Properties Analysis

Abstract

Present scenario, the most of the materials used for diverse applications are alternative materials as composite materials, in this maximum of the researchers are explored invention of natural fiber reinforced green composites because of easy accessibility of natural fibers and treating of natural fibers are simple and renewable, good mechanical properties, cheap and ecofriendly. In this investigation, the availability of different natural fibers and its mechanical properties and also manufacturing of NF (Sisal, Kneaf) reinforced epoxy polymer matrix green composites are discussed. The essential properties required for engineering applications are tested and evaluated. This paper concludes that the manufacturing of Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Lamina by hand layup process and the properties are tested as per the ASTM standards. Finally, we concluded that Kneaf fibered reinforced polymer composite has good mechanical properties then the Sisal Fibered Reinforced Composite.
