ABSTRACT
The present study proposes variety ofnovel composites fabricated from Rambans (Agave) fibers and recognizes its physical and mechanical behavior by varying its proportion in the fiber-reinforced polyester resin composite. The physical and mechanical properties of composites are determined . The mechanical properties (hardness, tensile, flexural and impact-resistant) and the scanning electron microscopy for fractured surfaces were analyzed to further characterize the composite surfaces. The maximum tensile strength of the composite is found to be 95.27 MPa with 4.7 Jm−2 impact strength. It is concluded that the above composite composition leads to better mechanical properties, which can be used in many applications in place of conventional natural fibers.
