| Popis: | Natural fibre composite fabrication has become an emerging field these days where the combination of different natural fibers and resins has been made and their properties are studied. This study is with respect to the potential of areca husk and sheath fibre reinforced epoxy composite at different fibre loadings. The surface modifications of the fibre with 1% alkali treatment improved the mechanical properties of husk and sheath fibre composites. The IR studies revealed the surface modification of the fibres after alkali treatment. Husk fibre showed optimum mechanical properties at 50% fibre loading and the sheath fibre showed optimum mechanical properties at 55% fibre loading. The tensile strength of husk and sheath composite is 14.85 N/mm2 and 25.93 N/mm2 respectively and the flexural strength is recorded as 1.37 N/mm2 and 1.75 N/mm2 respectively. In comparison with the strength of husk and sheath fibre composites, there is drastic increase in the mechanical property of sheath composites. Tensile strength for sheath fibres increased by 80.31% at optimum fibre loading which is 55% and the flexural strength increased by 14.5% respectively. Thus, the study reveals that in comparison with areca husk and sheath fibre composites, the sheath fibre composites has the greater potential and proves to be promising material in composite fabrication. |
