Abstract
The sansevieria cylindrica polyester composite slabs are made by compression molding technique using virgin fibres for varying fibre length ( 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm) and different weight percentage ( 20%wt, 30% wt, 40%wt, 50% wt ) under room curing temperature and their mechanical properties have been studied. The inclusion of sansevieria cylindrica fibre as reinforcement into polyester matrix improves the flexural and tensile strength till a certain weight percentage, then it decreases drastically by further addition of fibre. It is observed that the mechanical properties of the composites increase with increase in fibre length from 30mm to 40 mm and there is decrease in their strengths for fibre length of 50 mm.
