The focus of the researchers has been shifted toward natural fiber reinforced composites due to their biodegradability and environmental compatibility. These composites can be made by traditional hand layup process or can be manufactured with the help of machines, out of which compression molding is a versatile and efficient method. In this paper, hand layup method and compression molding method are compared to find out the optimal process for fabrication. For optimizing the fabrication parameters, tensile strength under various fabrication conditions was found. The compression pressure was varied from 2 to 10 MPa, and the optimum result was found for 4 MPa. On the other hand, 100 °C resulted in ideal properties, when the specimen was fabricated under different temperatures. Three different volume fractions of fiber were also evaluated and 0.27% volume fraction exhibited the optimal performance. Further, the effect of post-curing on tensile and thermal properties was studied. The influence of various parameters in compression molding was also investigated. |
