Abstract
In the material industry, composites are sought after as more affordable and environmentally friendly materials, they play a vital role. Fiber-reinforced polymer composites exhibit excellent mechanical and tribological properties. One of the natural fibers that are both lightweight and biodegradable is flax. However, the mechanical qualities of natural fiber lag behind those of synthetic fiber. To enhance the structural or mechanical application of hybridization, it is therefore important to study the mechanical properties of natural fiber. The mechanical characteristics of natural flax fibre composite materials reinforced with Delrin matrix material are the foundation of the current review. In this work, static mechanical tests like tensile, impact testing and dynamic mechanical tests like wear test, Shore ‘D’ hardness, flexural and compression properties are evaluated for the Delrin as the matrix and the chopped flax fiber as the reinforcement. Measured mechanical test results showed an incremental increase with the addition flax/Delrin. According to the finding’s, non-reinforced epoxy has inferior characteristics to Flax + Delrin composite materials. Making hybrid composites out of natural fiber and Delrin in the future could bring in a new era for composite materials. This improves the performance and degrading life of composite.
