Hybridization of Composites using Natural and Synthetic Fibers for Automotive Application

Abstract

The work is centred on the idea of hybridization polymer matrix composites with synthetic and natural fibers. Composite material shows a major part in the pitch of automotive and aircraft industries due of its higher strength and lower weight ratios. The merger of natural fibers like coconut coir with glass fiber composites has enlarged growing claims both in many extents of engineering and technology. The laminate is fabricated by with glass fiber and coconut coir fiber to check their mechanical properties under dissimilar circumstances. The mechanical properties are evaluated by tensile test, hardness test, impact test and their outcomes are measured on segments of the material and make habit of the natural fiber composite material for automotive and aerospace engineering. The macroscopic analyses are conceded out to study the interfacial features of the laminate.
