Abstract

Naturally accessible materials have recently become appealing to researchers and scientists due to their suitability as an ideal reinforcement for polymer composites reinforced with fiber. Low cost, relatively strong mechanical properties, qualities of non-abrasive and bio-degradability, exploited as a switch to the standard fiber. This research investigates the effect of areca fiber reinforcement of fracture load and fracture toughness. Epoxy resin used as a matrix material. Type I fracture hardness checks are conducted in a universal servo hydraulic control system. The findings revealed a significant improvement in fracture load values and durability of fracture with improved fibre content.
