The importance of natural fiber reinforced composites is rapidly developing both in terms of engineering application and research field. The aim of this investigation is conducting an experiment to obtain the water absorption, physical and Mechanical properties of hybrid composite was fabricated from (False Banana Fiber) FBF and (Sisal Fiber) SF through general purpose (GP) resin-hardener mixture. The samples fabrication procedure was carried out by varying FBF and SF weight ratio to see its effect of mechanical and physical properties. Three samples (FBF: SF) i.e., 1:1 ratio, 3:1 ratio and 1:3 ratio with ply orientation as the reinforcement material. Then, tensile strength, compression strength, flexural strength water absorption percentage and density was conducted according to ISO and ASTM standards. The results show that the overall tensile strength shows a 1:3 ratio have shown 69 MPa which are higher than 1:1 ratio and 3:1 ratio. 3:1 ratio. In a compression strength test also 12.30 MPa which was higher result is obtained from 3:1 ratio. For both flexural(bending) strength and water absorption (for ordinary tap water and rainwater) test 380 MPa and (2.64 % and 3.07 %) respectively resulted, which are relatively less than from 1:1 ratio and 3:1ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
