Abstract

Composite materials have fully established themselves as workable engineering materials and are now quite common place around the world. To produce composite materials provided a growing interest in utilizing fiber (natural or synthetic) as reinforcement to fibers, Natural Fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites have gained commercial success in the semi structural and structural applications such as aircraft, automobiles, sporting goods, electronics, and appliances are quite dependent on natural fiber-reinforced plastics, and these composites are routinely designed, manufactured and used in place of synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites. The objective of this paper is to study the behaviour of composite materials. The study is made to show the difference between synthetic and natural fibers and composites, process for their production for high performance, low cost and less weight, and study and compare different results of Mechanical Test on NFRPC.
