  By Sivakumar M, Kanakarajan P, Chakravarthi P, Devaprakash P, Anandraj S, Sakthivel M

  Abstract: Research on natural fibre reinforced polymer composites as eco-friendly substitutes for traditional synthetic composites has intensified due to growing need for sustainable engineering materials. This work used the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array to experimentally examine and optimize the mechanical behaviour of hybrid epoxy composites reinforced with areca and banana fibres. The impacts of epoxy matrix composition, areca and banana fibre content on the composite’s tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, …
