Evaluation of Thermal Adsorption and Mechanical Behaviour of Intralaminar Jute/Sisal/E-Glass Fibre-Bonded Epoxy Hybrid Composite as an Insulator

Abstract: A thermal gravimetric analyzer analyzed the thermal adsorption properties of developed composites with the temperature range of 28°C–650°C at a 20°C/min constant heat flow rate. The epoxy hybrid composites were synthesized using natural jute/sisal fibre hybridized with the addition of synthetic E-glass fibres at 0-degree, 0/90-degree, and intralaminar orientations through the wet filament-winding process. The effects of orientations on tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of epoxy hybrid composites were studied using ASTM D3039, D790, and D6110. The evaluated results were compared, and the epoxy hybrid composite containing intralaminar orientations found better thermal stability with reduced weight loss at 650°C. Similarly, the test result for mechanical studies of the hybrid composite showed superior tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. The epoxy hybrid composite with intralaminar orientation was found to have a maximum tensile, impact, and flexural strength of 61.91 MPa, 770.61 J/m, and 83.90 MPa, respectively.

Mechanical and Water Absorption Characteristics of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composite

Abstract: ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fiber loading on mechanical and water absorption characteristics of composites made from sisal fiber and polypropylene matrix targeted for use in bathroom wall tile applications. The amount of fiber content in the composites was varied from 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% to 50% by weight. The composites were manufactured by melt-mixing method. The effects of fiber loading on various composite characteristics were investigated using tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, compressive strength, and water absorption. With the increase of fiber content, properties, such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, and compressive strength increases up to optimum level, whilst decrement in these properties were observed after the optimal level. The maximum tensile strength of 52.69 MPa, tensile modulus of 1.1 GPa, flexural strength of 127.8 MPa, flexural modulus of 6.22 GPa, impact strength of 10.195 KJ/m2 and compressive strength 137.7 MPa were obtained. Water absorption rate increased with increase in the fiber weight proportion due to the hydrophilic character of the sisal fiber. From the result of this study, it can be concluded that the optimal mechanical and water absorption properties were achieved at 30% fiber content.

Preparation method of graphene composite sisal fiber coral concrete

Abstract: The invention discloses a preparation method of graphene composite sisal fiber coral concrete. The graphene composite sisal fiber coral concrete is prepared from the following components according tothe mass ratio: the ratio of cement to sand to coral aggregate to artificial seawater to a nano-material to a fiber material is 1 to (1.5 to 1.8) to (2.1 to 2.7) to (0.3 to 0.53) to (0.0001 to 0.0005)to (0.01 to 0.02). The preparation method comprises the following specific steps: (1) weighing according to the component requirements and preparing materials; (2) mixing graphene and the artificialseawater by utilizing an ultrasonic dispersion machine to obtain suspension liquid; (3) stirring by utilizing a forcedly type stirrer; before charging, splitting clustered sisal fibers and charging according to a charging sequence of stones, sand and the sisal fibers, so as to obtain a mixture; (4) dividing the suspension liquid into a 1/3 part and a 2/3 part; adding the 2/3 part into a mixture and wetly blending for 1min; adding cement and the other 1/3 part and wetly blending for 2min to obtain the graphene composite sisal fiber coral concrete. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, raw materials can be obtained locally so that the problem that building materials are inconvenient to transport in island-reef construction is effectively solved; meanwhile, wastes are changed into valuable things and freshwater is saved, so that the preparation method has environment-friendly and economic benefits.

Sisal hemp carpet

Abstract: The utility model relates to a sisal hemp carpet, this sisal hemp carpet are at least including the sisal hemp weaving layer, gum layer and the enhancement layer that stack gradually, the latitude sand that veil that the sisal hemp weaving layer was made for the sisal fiber and sisal fiber were made interweaves mutually and forms, the gum layer is fixed to be set up on the sisal hemp weaving layer, the fixed another side that sets up at the gum layer of enhancement layer, this sisal hemp carpet can further improve sisal hemp carpet's intensity, rub resistance, thereby can also improve sisal hemp carpet's elasticity and carry high fitting feature, can play fire -retardant effect, and the sisal hemp carpet that makes is difficult for arousing deckle edge, and also difficult shrink especially is fit for the transport, removes and lay to can alternate the combination at will, make the carpet after the amalgamation be rich in strong outward appearance aesthetic feeling

Design and Fabrication of Two Wheeler Mudguard using Sisal Natural Fiber

Abstract: In the current scenario automobile industries focuses on enhancing the strength and reducing the weight of body parts. In two wheelers mudguard is provided to prevent the dirt’s and sand particles in tire from entering and damaging other parts. Presently most of which are made from ABS/Polypropylene plastics. They are of high cost and not completely degradable. In my work an attempt has been made to use strong and abundantly available sisal plant fibers as reinforcement in epoxy resin to make low cost, high strength and less weight substitute for mudguards.
