Fabrication And Characterization Of Alkali Treated Fiber Reinforced Bio Composites

Recently, immense interest was paid to new technologies dealing with environmental aspect. Upholding of natural resources such as natural fibres, resins, and composites lead the upcoming manufacturing industry to search and scrutinize ecofriendly materials. The use of composites in manufacturing equipment and products is taking a very important space in the industry. In general these materials have unique characteristics when analyzed separately from constituents which are part of them. However it is known that care must been taken in their manufacturing as the use of appropriate process and the composition of each element, in addition to the adherence of fiber, which is a major factor in obtaining the final mechanical strength of the product one should also take into account whether the composites are environmental friendly. For this reason, the paper focus on manufacturing a bio composite fiber, using natural fibres as strand (cotton fibres, flax fibres and raw flax) which is a hybrid form of reinforcement in the soya resin phase to form a composite, seeking to improve the mechanical behaviour among its class of materials.
