Study of mechanical behaviour on jute fiber and rice straw reinforced hybrid silica filled composite material

Abstract

World is focusing on alternate material resource that are environment friendly and recyclable in nature. Now-a-days, renewable natural fibers provide an alternative polymer composite material instead of synthetic fibers. With several natural fibers such as wheat grass, rice straw fiber, timber powder, jute, hemp is widely used natural fiber for its advantage of ease of availability, low density fiber, low production costs, material properties and the equipment. This study introduces the effect of synthetic filler on silica with natural fiber such as jute fiber and natural fiber as Rice straw Hybrid composites have better properties than single reinforced fiber which is a composite and applied to the application such as Home appliances like(Door), Bed Headboard, Mattress, Panel board for interior walls, Reusable shopping bags. Though the hybrid composite have better strength when compared to single fiber composites. By combining Natural Fiber with synthetic filler which strengthened the fiber matrix interface. The test were taken on sample by means of mechanical test such as Tensile test, Hardness test, morphological study on X ray Diffraction Analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope is done and results were found 90.1Mpa and 78.8Mpa for Tensile and Hardness test by adding 4 % of silica.
