  By Balaji A N, Karthikeyan M K V, Thanga Kasi Rajan S T K, Ezilvannan R

  Abstract: This study presents the outcomes of an experimental investigation focusing on the tensile, flexural, impact and water absorption properties of unsaturated polyester resin reinforced with naturally woven coconut sheath and short sisal fibers. Sisal fiber, characterized by its abundance, affordability, degradability, and robust strength, serves as a compelling reinforcement. The naturally woven coconut sheath fibers, discreetly found in the hidden sections of coconut branches, offer an inexpensive, biodegradable option with …
