Effects on mechanical properties by hybridization of glass fiber on Aloe vera/Roselle epoxy Composites

ABSTRACT

The research toward replacing synthetic fiber with natural fiber was increased rapidly because of their significant advantages. In this research, an attempt is made to create the glass epoxy composite with the hybridization of natural fibers Roselle and Aloe vera laminates. Hybrid Natural fiber laminates were produced at four different combinations and the effect of hybridization on mechanical behaviors has been evaluated under ASTM Standards. The test results reveal Roselle based hybrid composite delivers better strength than other laminates. Morphological analysis was done on the fractured samples and analyzed through the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

摘要

以天然纤维代替合成纤维的研究因其显著的优势而迅速增加. 在这项研究中, 试图创造玻璃环氧树脂复合材料与杂交的天然纤维玫瑰茄和芦荟层压板. 以四种不同的组合制备了混杂天然纤维层压板, 并根据ASTM标准评估了混杂对力学性能的影响. 试验结果表明, 玫瑰茄基混合复合材料比其他层压板具有更好的强度. 对断裂样品进行形态分析, 并通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)进行分析.
