Abstract |
|
Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites has growing its interest due to its ecological and economical factors. The aim of this research was to evaluate mechanical behavior of sisal fiber reinforced epoxy based composites. Tensile strength and flexural strength of composite was evaluated using universal testing machine (UTM). The composite specimens were fabricated with simple hand layup method. Sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composite (SFREC) were made up with four different weight fraction 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of fiber. The results revealed that tensile and flexural strength were better with 20% of weight fraction of fiber. This sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composite was suggested for false ceiling application due to its superior properties. |
