Abstract

Today the use of composite material in the manufacturing field is increasing day by day. The composite material consists of two or more different forms of material. The natural fiber like flax, jute, sisal, kapok silk plays an important role to enhance the properties of composite material. In the present work polyester is used with natural fiber i.e. flax and jute. The composite material (Polyester & flax fiber and Polyester & jute fiber) having weight percentage 90% &10% respectively. The fibers are treated with NaOH and water solution. The specimen of composite material are manufactured by hand layup method. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and shear are calculated and analyzed. In this conclusion flax is better than jute in tensile strength and shear strength. Jute is better than flax in flexural strength.
