Processing and Characterization of Bioepoxy Reinforced Hybrid Composites

Material science has shaped the development according to the civilization since the mankind has survived. Composite materials are being used nowadays where less weight, high mechanical performances, resistant to fire, water and chemical resistant, excellent damping, fatigue and other properties are essential. The role of composite materials is significant in more promising areas like aerospace, automotive, constructions even if they have some disadvantages like high cost, high density and huge weight. In this work, a hybrid composite is prepared using bio-based fibres such as ramie, areca and sisal as these bio-reinforcements are eco-friendly, renewable and excellent strength. Mechanical parameters like tensile, compressive, flexural and impact strength are measured to check its suitability to replace the conventional materials.
