A study on the mechanical and Machinability behaviors of coirsisal Hybrid fiber reinforced vinyl ester Composites

Abstract

The research work aimed at improving the mechanical properties of vinyl newlineester polymer by the addition of natural fibers The mechanical properties of vinyl newlineester resin lies between polyester and epoxy The natural fibers such as sisal and newlinecoir were used in this study Physicomechanical properties of raw fibers were newlineanalyzed newlineAn enhancement in the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced newlinevinyl ester composites strongly depended on interfacial adhesion between the newlinematrix and fiber Surface treatment of the fibers had been carried out to enhance its newlineinterfacial adhesion with the matrix newline newline
