Investigation of moisture absorption and mechanical properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer hybrid composite

Abstract The significance of herbal fibre bolstered composites is rapidly developing both in phrases of engineering utility and studies area. These herbal fibres are completely renewable, environmental pleasant, high particular energy, non-abrasive, low fee, biodegradability. Natural fibre powered composites update metals due to their insubstantial, excessive strength to weight ratio, non-corrosive nature and rigidity. However poor interfacial adhesion among fibre and matrix, low melting point and absence of moisture resistance has constrained the usage of herbal fibre. Hybridization allows to tweak the residences of composites as in line with specified requirements and to get the excellent performance. The search is to expand a new magnificence of cloth the usage of green fibre extracted from environmental which is to be a better opportunity for present inexperienced composites. In the prevailing studies, sisal (S) and pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) are decided on because of their eco-friendly nature. Initially, optimal fibre length and weight percent have been decided. To enhance the mechanical homes, pineapple fibre became hybridized with sisal fibre. This observes exhibited that addition of sisal fibre in pineapple/polyester composites of as much as 50% through weight results in growing the mechanical residences and reducing the moisture absorption assets. The tensile, flexural, effect and water absorption exams had been achieved the usage of pineapple/sisal polyester composite fabric.
