  Abstract

Owing to the exceptional characteristics such as sustainability, biodegradability and environment friendly characteristics natural fibers are a dominant force in a variety of composite sectors. Among the many fruit fibers, Areca fruit husk fiber (AFHF) stands out and has been discovered in considerable quantities being rejected by tobacco processing enterprises. The investigation of AFHFs, helps to utilize the wealth out of iste in an eco-friendly nature for reinforcement in polymer composites. In light of this, the current work deals with AFHFs collected from agricultural enterprises and processed as raw fibers, which were further combined with unsaturated polyester resin to create a natural polymer composite material. Additionally, using Taguchi's design technique, an orthogonal array is constructed by including process parameters and their stages when conducting testing. The influence of various fiber widths on various gauge distances has been discussed, as well as the optimal width and span for defining the possible tensile strength using Taguchi's single response analysis. Additionally, the mechanical assets of manufactured natural fiber composites were evaluated using ASTM criteria to perceive whether it can be employed as a substitute reinforcement in polymer composite products.
