Popis: | Recently natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are highly employed in the automotive, construction and packaging industrial sectors. Hence, there is huge demand for mechanical property improvement of these natural fiber reinforced polymer composite materials. Desired improvements in mechanical properties can be achieved by optimizing the process parameters while fabricating the composites. In the present experimental endeavor an attempt has been made to fabricate natural fibre reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) with the objective of developing the PMCs with improved tensile property using the compression moulding process. The knowledge of process parameters such as heating temperature (T), compressive pressure (P) and molding time (t) of the polymer sheets and the developed composites are necessary to make a part of improved mechanical properties. The processing parametric conditions and techniques for the fabrication of the composite have been identified by measurements of tensile properties and micrograph image observation. |
