Fabrication and Testing of Hybrid Laminate reinforced with Natural Fibre

Abstract

This present work discussed about fabrication and testing of hybrid laminate reinforced with natural fibres, in general engineering materials with high-performance are used in various manufacturing methods from different resources has been investigated by many researchers across the world. The raw materials which are taken from renewable sources are environmentally good ¬ cause any kind of health issues, now a day’s most of natural fibre based hybrid composites are used different areas like automobile companies and aircraft industries for manufacturing their inside and outside parts of the mechanical bodies and it’s not affected environment, the exact reason behind this is a natural fibre, because of its easy availability & low cost. The hybrid composites are fabricated by using the natural fibre reinforcements as they exhibit their low density, low cost as well as exhibit better mechanical properties. The present work includes the manufacturing of natural fibre (wool and jute) reinforced polymer composites are discussed and this natural fibre reinforced hybrid polymer composite is tested and compared with the glass fibre epoxy polymer composite. the testing performed are flexural and compression and different strengths are collected finally and it is concluded that compared with the glass fibre polymer composite, hybrid laminate (natural fibres) are in good condition in terms of strength and their application are also brought into consideration.
