Abstract
This study is aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties of sida acuta stem fibre and untreated sida acuta stem fibre fabric–reinforced epoxy composite. The specimens have been prepared using hand lay-up techniques as per the ASTM standard. In this report, tensile strength, compression strength, flexural strength, impact strength, inplane shear strength, interlaminar shear strength and hardness of 0°/90° and ±45° fibre fabric orientation of sida acuta composites having fibre volume fraction (Vf) of 24 ± 1% are given. The study demonstrates the potential of this renewable source of natural fibre for use in a number of consumable goods.
