Experimental investigation on influence of chemical treatment for natural fibers in hybrid composite of G/SB/SB/SB/G.

Materials are indispensible but the supply is limited. In particularly, the supply of material is limited for specific applications. Light weight low strength applications are very wide. This investigation focuses the natural fibre hybrid with artificial fiber-based hybrid composite preparation. The sisal and banana fibre is used to prepare the composite with glass fibre. The banana fiber is here treated with specific concentration of sodium oxidanide in the distilled water. The composites synthesized with treated and untreated banana fibres. The alternate fashion of horizontal and vertical is followed for fibres' orientation. The bio epoxy is employed as matrix material with mix of hardener. The prepared composite are characterized by water absorbability, tensile properties, flexural properties and shock absorption capacities. The synthesized composites also characterized for dry and wet applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
