【 摘 要 】

Natural fiber reinforced composites are playing a vital role in recent years due to its biodegradable, recycling and eco-friendly in nature. In this present work biodegradable hybrid composites is developed with sisal fiber and commercially available glass fiber as reinforcing fibers and nano ( Multi walled carbon nanotube) incorporated epoxy used as a matrix. Using compression molding technique, composites were fabricated. Ultrasonic probe sonicator is used for incorporate the MWCNT into epoxy resin by varying their Wt% as 0%, 0.5% and 1% respectively. The composites were subjected to various mechanical testing like tensile, compressive and flexural. The Importance of this work can be predominantly affected by factors which include variation in nano additives and extreme fiber layers. The results indicated that, mechanical properties are enhanced by increasing the wt% of MWCNT. The microstructure of the developed composites were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the EDS analysis were used to confirm the presence of carbon nanotube and glass fiber in the developed composites.
