  Abstract

In this work tensile, flexural, compression, impact and hardness properties of alkaline treated sugarcane bagasse (SB), pine apple leaf (PALF) and sisal fiber (SF) reinforced with polyester composites are expressed for the first time. This effort to develop hybrid composite materials with improved execution for worldwide applications is a progressing procedure. Be that as it may, with their remarkable and wide scope of inconstancy, common fiber composites could rise as another elective designing material which can substitute the utilization of manufactured fiber composites. The challenge in working with natural fiber composites (NFC) is the large variation in properties and characteristics. In this experimental investigation SF as a base material, PALF and SB are filler materials. The weight percentage of SF has been maintained as constant and the remaining two fiber fillers were varied. The NFC are prepared by hand layup method and mechanical characteristics of tensile, flexural, compression, impact and hardness tests were performed as per ASTM standard. The experiment results revealed a consistent tendency of an increase in the above mechanical attributes to adding natural fibers/fillers. Better interlinking capability between the NFC and polyester matrix is also responsible for the effective resistance capability. This type of composite materials can be useful for various engineering fields.
