Studies on the mechanical properties and machinability characteristics of synthetic and natural fiber resin composites

Abstract

The present study is focussed on evaluating the mechanical properties of the natural resin which is reinforced with NaOH treated banana fibers The natural resin is developed by incorporating Vajram Gum Arabic in epoxy resin The natural resin is then reinforced with the banana fiber in various compositions which is used throughout the work The obtained mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced with natural resin Vajram Epoxy are compared with synthetic fiber reinforced with synthetic resinThe main objectives of the present study are To determine the mechanical properties of oriented E Glass fiber reinforced with phenolic resin composite in various fiber and resin concentration weight percentage To determine the mechanical properties of oriented banana fiber reinforced with phenolic resin composite for different fiber and resin composition weight percentage To determine the mechanical properties of oriented E Glass fiber reinforced with vajram epoxy resin composite with various fractions of fiber and resin content weight percentage To determine the mechanical properties of oriented banana fiber reinforced with vajram epoxy resin composite by varying fiber and resin content weight percentage newline
