Analysis of unidirectional aligned Banana and Glass fiber reinforced polyester composite for tensile and flexural strength

Abstract

The hybrid composite can be set up by utilizing at least two fiber fortifications in the composite. Here the hybrid composite was set up by utilizing banana/glass fiber. In addition, fiber volume loading was 40%. The tensile test and flexural test were preceded according to ASTM D3039 and ASTM D790 separately. The results show that 5% treated fiber shows higher properties than non-treated fiber composite. NaOH treated banana fiber with glass fiber composite shows higher quality as compared with non-treated in unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced composite.
