The performance of bio waste fibres reinforced polymer hybrid composite

International Journal of Materials Engineering Innovation (IJMATEI), Vol. 7, No. 1, 2016

Abstract: In the present communication, the bio waste bagasse and coir fibres with different proportions were used as reinforcements to vinyl ester-based matrices. The effects of fibre content on mechanical properties, tribological behaviour (wear resistance) and machinability (drill hole analysis) of hybrid composite materials were studied. An improvement in strength and stiffness combined with high toughness was achieved by varying the fibre content. In wear testing, 40 wt% composite showed good wear resistance. In drill hole profile analysis, composite with 40 wt% fibre content shows elastic re-bounce than other composite materials. 40 wt% composite shows better dimensional accuracy than 50 wt% composites.
