“…From the background and previous research, this study focuses more on the effect of variations in fiber volume fraction with a polyester matrix on the mechanical properties of tensile tests and impact tests. This research is an update from previous research, namely the research of Nair, et al [15]. The difference lies in the matrix, fiber orientation and the variation in volume fraction between the matrix and the fiber.…”

Currently, composite applications range from the automotive, marine, and even aircraft sectors. One of the composites that have attracted a lot of attention from researchers is composites with natural fibres because natural fibre composites can be used as an alternative to synthetic or plastic materials. The low-density nature of natural fibres can provide good stiffness and strength as in fiberglass-reinforced composites. Coconut coir fibre and human hair waste are the basic materials for the manufacture of composites in this study. Because the amount is abundant so it is easy to obtain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the variation of the best volume fraction of natural fibre composites with polyester matrix on the mechanical properties. The method used is hand layup with 3 variations of fibre volume fraction and polyester matrix, respectively 10:90, 15:85, and 20:80 and with the size of short hair fibres with a size of 3 cm and long coconut fibres with sizes according to the length of the print. The ratio of human hair fibre and coconut fibber is 1:1. Each fraction was tested 3 times to be more accurate. The results of the average tensile strength test with the largest ASTM D638 standard are at the volume fraction of 10:90 with a tensile strength of 19.2 MPa and the average impact test strength with the largest ISO 179-1 standard at the volume fraction of 20:80 is 17, 67 kJ/m². This study showed that the higher the fibres fraction in the composite, the lower the tensile strength but the higher the impact strength. Vice versa, the lower the fibre fraction in the composite, the tensile strength increases but the impact strength decreases.

The present study is focused on investigating the mechanical properties of hybrid polymer composites. The reinforcement materials are animal bone (ox) particulate and E-glass fiber. The matrix material is epoxy resin. The following combinations are considered for investigation: (a) bone particulate weight percent (20%, 30%, and 40%), (b) E-glass fiber weight percent (20%, 30%, and 40%), and (c) bone particulate (10%, 20%, and 30%) and E-glass fiber (30%, 20%, and 10%) with epoxy resin 60% by weight percent. The test specimens are prepared as per the required ASTM standard for tensile, compressive, and flexural tests. The test results show that maximum tensile and compressive strength observed in 40% of E-glass fiber with 60% of epoxy matrix, correspondingly, is 254.964 MPa and 37.52 MPa. The maximum flexural strength observed in E-glass fiber reinforced composites is 250.43 MPa.
