An Experimental Work on Epoxy, Banana Fiber&e Glass Fiber Composites

This book presents the background information on the issues to be considered in the present research work and to focus the significance of the current study. The objective is also to present a thorough understanding of effect of various parameters influencing on the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced polymer composites. The literature survey is based on the following aspects. Fiber reinforced polymer composites has been used in a variety of application because of their many advantages such as relatively low cost of production, easy to fabricate and superior strength compare to neat polymer resins. Reinforcement in polymer is either synthetic or natural. Synthetic fiber such as glass, carbon etc. has high specific strength but their fields of application are limited due to higher cost of production. Recently there is an increase interest in natural fiber based composites due to their many advantages. In this connection an investigation has been carried out to make better utilization of banana fiber for making value added products. The objective of the present research work is to study the mechanical behavior of banana/glass fiber reinforced epoxy based hybrid composites.
