Abstract

The natural fibers are used as an alternate substitute for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite materials because of its availability and low cost. The present study investigates the mechanical properties of sisal-PALF-banana-glass fiber reinforced with polyester hybrid composites. The results indicated that there will be a vast increase in the superior properties like tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength of sisal-PALF-banana fiber when it is reinforced with glass fiber in the polyester matrix composites. The interfacial properties are analyzed by scanning electron microscope.
