Natural fibers are given due importance these days to be castoff as augmentation material in composite processing as a substitute of synthetic fibers inspite of its better mechanical characteristics. The thermal, mechanical, morphology and water captivation characteristics of Licuala GrandisPeduncle Fibers strengthened in an unsaturated polyester resin matrix bio-composite have been examined in this study in relation to the possessions of fiber content in terms of weight% and length. Highest mechanical features were shown by the bio-composite containing 30 weight% and 5 mm long Licuala GrandisPeduncle Fiber, with comparable tensile parameters. Additionally, the bio-composite sample’s tensile, flexural, hardness, and impact parameters were all enhanced by the increase in length of the Licuala GrandisPeduncle Fiber augmentation till 15 mm. To confirm the bio-composite’s viability for use in industry, the X-ray diffraction spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and scanning electron microscopy pictures were observed. The bio-composite sample’s adequate hydrophobicity, reduced density, and heat durability, attained via right loading and length of LGPF augmentation, make them ideal for use in aircraft and automotive furnishings. |
