Mechanical Characterisation of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite

  • Unique Paper ID: 201524
  • PageNo: 176-182
  • Abstract:
  • Eco friendly natural composite is highly demanded in world. In this paper we have chosen Sisal fiber due to its better mechanical properties. We have chosen tamarind shell powder as filler material also we have chosen epoxy resin as matrix. Composite specimens were prepared at various compositions and mechanical tests such as tensile, compressive and flexural were carried out, the result showed that 30% fiber content showed maximum mechanical properties and then the value gets declined with addition of fiber further. This is due to accumulation of fiber at one place.
