Experimental Investigation of Chemical and Tensile Properties of Sansevieria Cylindrica Fiber Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The natural fiber reinforced composites are least expensive material and alternative material of wood, plastic material for the construction and industrial applications. The polymer based composites are used to fabricate the automobile components. The present investigation the composite materials reinforced with sansevieria cylindrica fibers were fabricated. These fibers were used because of their impressive mechanical properties. The composite panels are fabricated by hand lay-up technique. Sansevieria cylindrica fibers and polyester resin to produce the composite material. Sansevieria cylindrica plant has each leaf 20 to 30mm thickness and height 1000 to 2000mm approximately. The chemical tests of fiber and tensile strength for different fiber length composites such as 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, & 50mm are determined.
