Influences of Nanosilica Particles on Density, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of Sisal/Hemp Hybrid Nanocomposite

Focusing on natural fibers are the prominent substitution for synthetic fiber and reinforced into polymer matrices found unique properties such as lightweight, cost-effectiveness, good mechanical wear properties. Incompatibility low adhesive behavior primary drawbacks during fabrication of fiber-bonded matrix composites. The constant weight percentage (10 wt%) sisal hemp is treated with a 5% NaOH solution improving bonded epoxy. prepared sisal/hemp/epoxy combination blended 0 wt%, 3 6 9 wt% silica nanoparticles, which results in reduced voids (1.32%) increased flexural strength (56.98 MPa). Based compositions reinforcement, density composite varied. Samples 3-6 nanoparticle-blend offered maximum tensile impact 52.16 MPa 2.1 J. An optical microscope analyzed fracture surface, failure nature was reported. dry sliding performance samples tested by pin-on-disc setup 10 N-40 N load interval at 0.75 m/sec. Sample resistance compared to others.
