Characterization and Fabrication of ABS and PLA-Based Polymer Matrix Composites Using 3D Printing

The recent dynamical world cannot imagine the growth without fetching any thought of upgrading in material composite. Numerous studies are taking place in these biodegradable polymer composite materials to attain the required standards. Biodegradable fiber embedded polymer composites have a strong correspondence to change the composite fabricated of plastics. Natural polymer materials have the following pros like low-cost, lightweight, improved strength, easy accessibility, non-toxic, non-abrasive, and decomposable properties. Researchers have extended their proficiency idea in the product design by using raw materials which consist of natural fiber. Natural fibers are stronger and also can be utilized in producing high-end quality viable manufacturing products. The primary intention of the current experimentation is to observe the mechanical performance of Gangura roselle fiber reinforced with thermoplastics composites. Gangura roselle fibers are reinforced in thermoplastics like PLA and ABS to produce composite materials. Later test for mechanical properties of the polymer matrix composite is verified as per different ASTM standards. The outcomes of the testing were plotted in the graph and the properties are observed and their uses in different mechanical applications.
