  Comparative Analysis of Different Mechanical Properties of Banana Pseudostem Fiber and Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite

  By Vishal Wankhade, Manoj Sharma, Rajeev Sharma, Shashi Chandra Sharma

  Abstract: In this research, a hybrid natural fiber polymer composite is prepared using different combinations of banana pseudostem fiber and pineapple leaf fiber in a discontinuous reinforcement phase and epoxy polymer in a continuous matrix phase. For the preparation of the composite, the hand layup technique is used and important mechanical characteristics, namely tensile, flexural, and impact strength, are determined. The findings of this investigation represent that the highest values of …
