Abstract

In this study it has been aimed to use sisal fibres pulp in composite materials and to study the mechanical properties of the produced samples. The mechanical tests results (thickness test, tensile strength and impact strength tests) and SEM micrographs indicated sisal fibres as an alternative natural fibre source for developing reinforced composites for various industries. The content of sisal fiber pulp is varied (35%, 45%, 55%) weight percentage whereas the epoxy resin is varied (50%, 40%, 30%) percentage is kept constant 15% in hardener. Composites have been fabricated using hand layup technique using a suitable mold developed in industry. All the sample have been tested in universal testing machine as per ASTM standard for tensile strength and impact strength it is observed that composite with 35% paddy pulp is having highest tensile strength of 4mm (4.08Mpa) and 8mm (7.91Mpa). The impact strength of composite with 35% sisal fiber pulp was highest than 45% to 55% sisal fiber pulp. The composites were tested by tensile strength testing and impact strength tester.
