MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SHORT FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITE

Pushpa Maurya, Madhusmita Sahu


Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are now in trend for various applications due to its good physical and mechanical properties. In this work, polymer composites using naturally available low cost jute fiber is fabricated by varying the contents of reinforced material by using simple hand lay-up technique. The composite is fabricated by varying 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by weight percentage of jute fibers. The present research work is undertaken to study the physical and mechanical behaviour of jute fiber reinforced polymer composites. The form of jute fiber considered for the present research work is Short Jute Fiber. As the composite is made using bio-materials from local resources, it is less costly and environment friendly.
