【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study is to obtain and compare the tensile strength of untreated agel leaf/jute/glass fiber-reinforced hybrid composites. Six types of composite specimens are fabricated using hand-layup followed by vacuum bagging method. Unsaturated polyester is used as matrix and fibers are not chemically treated. Each type of specimens is reinforced using 7 plies of fibers with different stacking sequences. Pure untreated agel leaf fiber-reinforced composite is used as control variable. All specimens are tensile tested under ASTM D638 condition. The results show that pure untreated agel leaf fiber-reinforced composite has the lowest value of tensile strength. Agel leaf/jute fiber-reinforced composite has bigger tensile strength than pure agel leaf fiber-reinforced composite. Incorporating glass fiber can enhance the value of tensile strength significantly and this value is proportional to the quantity of glass fiber its self.
