Abstract
Polymers find a wide variety of applications in day to day life because of their unique properties such as high strength to weight ratio, lightness, economy, biodegradability etc. The composites with natural fibers as reinforcement are increasing interest for the industries and have many applications in aerospace, automotive industry, sports, marine, and military. The present work is aimed at the study of the mechanical properties of the polymer composite. The work comprises of fabrication of polymer composite followed by testing its mechanical properties. The analysis for the strength of the sisal fiber reinforced polymer composites has been made with weight fraction and random orientation. The percentage of sisal fiber is varied from 24% to 36% in steps of 6%. The sisal fiber composites were prepared by hand layup technique. The specimens were cut according to ASTM standards by water jet machining and the variation in the mechanical properties with respect to fiber content in the composite was studied. From the studies made it is found that the increase in the percentage of sisal fiber by weight in the composite shown significant improvement with respect to mechanical properties and which may replace some of the conventional materials used in automobiles.
