An Experimental Study on the Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Hybrid CompositesBy S D Sathishkumar
Abstract: Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are increasingly investigated as lower-impact alternatives to conventional synthetic fiber systems. This work fabricated and mechanically characterized a sisal-coconut coir fiber-reinforced epoxy hybrid composite and compared its performance with a glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) epoxy composite under the reported laboratory conditions. The hybrid reinforcement contained 75% sisal fiber and 25% coconut coir fiber and was incorporated into an epoxy LY556/HY951 matrix by the hand lay-up technique. …
