Mechanical Characteristics of Green Composites of Short Kenaf Bast Fiber Reinforced in Cardanol

Evaluation of Flexural and Tensile Properties of Short Kenaf Fiber Reinforced Green Composites

The present work study flexural and tensile behavior of short Kenaf fiber reinforced composites. The fibers are chemically treated in 2% NaOH solution at room temperature. Short fibers of 4mm and 8 mm are used in the present work. The composite lamina is prepared by hand molding using isopthalic polyester resin. Flexural test and tension tests are carried out as per ASTM standards. The flexural...

MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED SHORT BANANA FIBER REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES

Short banana fiber reinforced composites have been prepared in laboratory to determine mechanical properties. It has been observed that as soon as the percentage of the banana fiber increases slightly there is a tremendous increase in ultimate tensile strength, % of strain and young modulus of elasticity. Reinforcement of banana fibers in epoxy resin increases stiffness and decreases damping pr...

Effect of Fiber Surface Treatment on Wear Characteristics of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyamide 6 Composites

Ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber. The surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. As a result...

mechanical and morphological properties of short nylon fiber reinforced acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber composites

acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (nbr) composites are prepared from waste nylon 66 short fiber using a two-roll mill mixer. the effects of fiber content and bonding agent on the mechanical and morphological properties of the composites are studied. the curing characteristics of the composites have been studied by using cure rheometer. the cure and scorch time of the composites decrease while cure...
