Mechanical characterization of hybrid natural fibre composites developed through compression moulding process

Guravtar Singh Mann, Lakhwinder Pal Singh, Pramod Kumar

Abstract


Increasing environmental concerns these days due to excessive consumption of fossil-fuel products have impacted our atmosphere, which has led several researchers to work in the field of polymer composites reinforced by natural fibres. In this research, the emphasis is on developing the completely biodegradable green composites using polylactic acid (PLA) as a matrix and reinforcement with jute and sisal fiber by compression molding method and effect of various parameters on various mechanical properties have been studied. In addition, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to examine the failure process of the examined specimens.

Keywords: Sisal, Jute, Hybrid, Green composites, compression molding
