WITHDRAWN: Study on the influence of barium sulphate on flexural and impact strength of simple natural fiber composite

Abstract

This study mainly deals with the Barium Sulphate (BaSO4) influence in the composites of natural fiber. In this place fibers used were extracted from the Flax plants and Kenaf plants. The basic and traditional methods were handled to form the natural fiber composites. The epoxy resin is used in between the fibers. The flax fiber and Kenaf fiber were mixed equal amount of volume in total volume used to prepare the composites. There are two cases were considered. Case one is the fiber composite exclusive of the barium sulphate and second case have the inclusive of barium sulphate which have the one fifth portion of the resin involved in the formation of composite. These two case specimens were prepared independently. The microstructure views of both cases were identified. There are mainly flexural strength and impact strength tests were conducted to identify the influence of the barium sulphate in the natural fiber composites.
