“…The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and water absorption properties of sisal and banana fibers reinforced composites have been observed and found that there is the significant improvement in mechanical strength and reduction in water absorption rate while hybridizing the banana fiber with sisal fiber reinforced composites 36 . The banana/glass fiber reinforced composites have good tensile property with minimum deflection when compared to the flax/glass composites 37 .…”

The concern for the environmental pollution and the prevention of resources has attracted researchers to develop new eco-friendly green materials based on sustainability principles. In this experimental study, there are six different composite samples were fabricated by using banana and carbon fibers with epoxy resin matrix. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and water uptake properties of these composites have been evaluated. The composites reinforced with pure carbon fibers can hold the maximum tensile strength of 288.03 MPa, flexural strength of 3.12 kN, impact strength of 4.58 J and water intake percentage of 62.3%. Whereas the composites reinforced with carbon and banana fibers can withstand the maximum tensile strength of 277.06 MPa, flexural strength of 3.07 kN, impact strength of 4.36 J and water intake percentage of 70%. The finite element analysis has been carried out to predict the mechanical properties of the composites by using ANSYS 15.0. The experimental results are compared with the predicted values and have found that, there is a high correlation occurs between the results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis is carried out to study the fiber matrix interfaces and analyse the structure of the fractured and water absorbed surfaces.

“…Many researchers are concentrating on natural hybrid composites. The hybrid composite properties will mainly depend on the mixture of elements which will decide its mechanical properties [14,15,16]. In this work, the hybrid banana-hemp-glass fiber with teak wood particles reinforced composite material is fabricated.…”

In recent years, natural fiber based hybrid composite materials have replaced many conventional metals and synthetic resin composites in many applications. The natural fibers serve better in the present unsustainable environment due to their properties. The waste wood particles from saw mill can also be added as reinforcement element in the matrix. Hence, to enhance the strength of the composite, fine teak wooden particles are mixed with the composite matrix material. The aim of this work is to develop hybrid fiber reinforced composite with waste teak wooden particles with optimum properties. Therefore it can replace the existing synthetic fiber reinforced composite material for a suitable application. In this work, epoxy resin has been reinforced with the hybrid fibers (Banana, Hemp and Eglass) to develop fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) with a weight ratio of 1:2 hand lay-up technique. The thickness of the composite specimen is obtained by laying up layer of fiber and matrix with wood particle. An experimental investigation of tensile, flexural, impact strength and water absorption capacity of the B-H-G Teak wood particle hybrid composite laminates have been carried out according to the ASTM standard of the composite laminates.

“…After composites endure a sudden load, the impact energy is dedicated to the combination of fiber pull-outs, fiber rupture and matrix deformation [7]. Generally, impact strength increases as fiber content increases in fiber reinforced polymer composites because of the increases in fiber pull out and fiber breakage [8].…”
