Abstract

Composite materials are gaining utmost prominence in many fields of application, nowadays, due to their surpassing traits have acquired relevance in various spheres of Engineering. The present study consists of assessment of the mechanical characteristics of Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites. Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites were fabricated using banana fibers of length 10 mm and jute fibers of length 10 mm as reinforcements and polyester resin as matrix respectively. Thickness of composite panels varied from 3 to 5 mm and fiber volume fractions were adopted as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% respectively. It is observed that Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites exhibit higher values of tensile and flexural strength compared to Banana Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites. However, both Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites revealed optimum tensile and flexural strength at a fiber volume fraction of 25% and 20% respectively.
