Abstract |
|
Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of Jute and abaca fibers are matrix. Such composites offer more design freedom than hybrid composites. The aim is often to alleviate the drawbacks of one of the fiber types while keeping the benefits of the other. The hybridization can also lead to synergetic effects or to properties that neither of the constituents possesses. Epoxy resin used as a matrix material. The hybrid composite made in different fiber volume fraction such as 20% of abaca and 15% of jute, 15% of abaca and 25% jute, 17.5% of abaca and 17.5% jute. The mechanical properties of this sample investigated according to the ASTM standards. From the result it observed that the 12.5% of Kenaf and 12.5% of sisal fiber reinforcement showed the highest flexural strength among the other fiber volume fraction. |
