In the recent decades, natural fiber reinforced composite (NFRC) plays a vital role in most of the engineering applications including automobile and structural. The demand for novel natural fiber increasing steeply in recent times. Current research work aimed to develop hybrid sansevieria trifasciata fiber (HSTF)/polyester composite, and researchers combined untreated sansevieria trifasciata fibers (USTFs) with NaOH treated sisal fibers (NSTFs) and combined them with a polyester matrix. The reinforced effect of HSTFs was shown to be superior to that of NSTFs. It has the tensile strength of 48.47 MPa, the flexural strength of 69.17 MPa, and the impact strength of 16.34 kJ/m2. The thermal behaviour of the composite increased because of chemical treatment and hybrid composition. Polyester/HSTFs show superior mechanical properties compared to other developed samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
