Study of properties of Aegle Marmelos Reinforced Composite Fiber

Abstract

Natural particulate and natural fibre composites have attracted substantial importance as a potential structural material. Different types of composite have different characteristics depends up on their composition. The fundamental properties of composite material is that they are cheap and eco friendly. Composites are low cost light in weight, biodegradable and renewable and completely or partially recyclable. Due to these attractive properties of the composite material there is a need to further explore the possibility of new natural particulate to be used as reinforcement in polymer composites. In this paper, Aegle Marmelos (locally known as Bel) is taken as natural fiber for analyzing. This paper mainly concentrates on made to prepare and study the mechanical and environmental behaviour of Aegle Marmelos Reinforced Composite Fiber. This paper also focuses on evaluation of the mechanical properties like impact strength of Aegle Marmelos fiber composites using different tests.
