Abstract

Natural fibers are used as a reinforcement material in polymer composite. High specific strength, corrosion-resistance and biodegradability are some important properties that makes natural fibers comparable to some of the synthetic fibers. The main objective of this study is the fabrication and mechanical characterization of a hybrid composite of jute/flax/PLA. Hybrid composites achieved higher flexural strength and modulus, whereas flax/PLA have higher tensile strength. For impact strength hybrid composite has achieved higher value. At the same time, flax/PLA composite was found to be superior than other developed composites in terms of dynamic mechanical properties.
