Investigation on mechanical properties of composite for different proportion of natural fibres with epoxy resin

Abstract

When humans evolve, there are several problems that contaminate and pollute the environment. The developments in technology to find better products often lead to an increase in emissions in the atmosphere. To overcome these problems, a suitable solution to decrease polymer scrap is replaced by making the composites from natural fibres. The properties of FRP composites produced from epoxy resin and fibres are addressed. In this paper, we fabricated specimens at different natural fibres of coconut coir with different compositions of hardener (30,35 and 40%) and resin epoxy (70, 65, and 60%). The laminates are fabricated by hand layup method effectively. Mechanical Properties of the composite specimen are determined and compared.
