Abstract

Natural fibres show many advantages such as low density, low cost, environmental friendly, biodegradable and high specific mechanical performance. This work investigates the tensile, flexural and impact properties of epoxy and randomly oriented short jute fibre reinforced epoxy composite. The composite was prepared using Hand lay-up method with 30wt. % of jute fibre in the various lengths of 5, 10, 15 and 20mm into epoxy matrix. The results show that the tensile and flexural properties were found maximum for the composite with 15mm length of fibre whereas the impact properties were found maximum for the composite with 20mm length of fibre.
