  Abstract

This work exposes the mechanical attributes, characterization and thermal behaviors of alkali treated banana fiber (BF), coir fiber (CF) and palm fiber (PF) of Asian palmyra reinforced with polyester composites are expressed. Due to the high tensile attributes of banana fiber, in this experimental work banana fiber has considered as a base material, palm and coir fibers are utilized as fillers. The natural fiber composite specimens were fabricated through injection moulding method by varying the weight percentages of fibers. The mechanical behaviors were determined by tensile, flexural, impact, hardness tests. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) morphological examines were carried out on the mechanical tested specimens to expect the fracture failure mechanisms. The thermal stability/degradation was observed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Furthermore, Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) used as a tool to estimate the surface forces and roughness for treated fibers. The results revealed that the inclusion of three different fibers enhanced the overall mechanical, thermal features and reduced the surface roughness. This type of composite can be useful for various engineering domains.
