Fafabrication and Characterization of Alkali Treated Fiber Reinforced Bio Composites

These days, immense interest is paid to new technologies dealing with environmental aspect. Upholding of natural resources such as natural fibers resins and composites lead the upcoming manufacturing industry which helps to scrutinize and produce eco-friendly 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 physical and chemical properties when analyzed separately from the constituents which are part of them. However, it is known that proper care must been taken in their manufacturing viz. use of appropriate process, composition of each element etc. In addition to these, emphasis should be given to adherence of the fiber, which is a major factor in obtaining the final mechanical strength of the product. One should also make sure that the composites are environmental friendly. For this reason, the paper focuses on manufacturing a bio-composite fiber to improve the mechanical behaviour among its class of materials, using natural fibers as strand (cotton fibers, flax fibers and raw flax) which is a hybrid form of reinforcement and soya resin as matrix.
