Zusammenfassung: | Fiber reinforced composites plays major role in
improving the strength of various applications in current trends.
Based on these trends the combination of natural jute/coir fiber
hybrid composite of different size of fiber length was examined in
this study. The hybrid fiber composite was fabricated by
compression moulding technique by impregnating jute fiber and
coir fiber with unsaturated polyester resin, Cobalt octoate and
methyl-ethyl-ketone peroxide as accelerator and catalyst. Then the
prepared mould placed into the oven to dry for 4 hrs. at 50°C
beneath closely to vacuum condition then convert the cured mould
to the hot press initially for 1 hr at 105°C under 84 bar pressure
until while squeeze out the excess resin, then it was cooled in cold
press under constant pressure of 275 bar pressure for 15 min to
prevent the warpage of hybrid composites. The micro hardness,
tensile, flexural, impact strength of hybrid composite was carried
out and the morphology of the composites was evaluated and
compared. The test results of the hybrid composite were analyzed
by one way ANOVA analysis technique and it shows significant
difference among the groups. |
