TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluated the tensile and flexural strength of two composite materials, namely, Jute Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composites (JFRPCS) and Banana Fiber Reinforcement Polyester Resin (BFRPS).Abstract:
Composite materials are gaining utmost prominence in many fields of application, nowadays, due to their surpassing traits have acquired relevance in various spheres of Engineering. The present study consists of assessment of the mechanical characteristics of Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites. Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites were fabricated using banana fibers of length 10 mm and jute fibers of length 10 mm as reinforcements and polyester resin as matrix respectively. Thickness of composite panels varied from 3 to 5 mm and fiber volume fractions were adopted as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% respectively. It is observed that Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites exhibit higher values of tensile and flexural strength compared to Banana Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites. However, both Banana and Jute Fiber reinforced Polyester Composites revealed optimum tensile and flexural strength at a fiber volume fraction of 25% and 20% respectively.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of single-strand buri palm fiber under different conditions and surface modification were analyzed. But the effects of some process and geometrical parameters (such as fibre type, size, and concentration, and chemical modification) on the strength of the final natural composite product are not well documented.

Study on the mechanical properties and thermal properties of jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical and thermal properties of raw jute and banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were investigated and compared and it was shown that the addition of banana fiber in jute/epoxy composites of up to 50% by weight results in increasing the mechanical properties and decreasing the moisture absorption property.
