Mechanical, Structural, and Morphological Assessment of Vinylester Hybrid Composites Stuffed with Sansevieria Cylindrica Fiber & Carbon Fiber

Authors(2) :-B. Amarababu, V. Pandu Rangadu

This paper presents preparation and characterization of vinyletser polymer composites reinforced with sansevieria Cylindrica fiber (SCF) and carbon fiber (CF). Flexural strength, compression strength, FT-IR properties were studied for both untreated and treated composites. Rule of hybrid mixture were used for designing different SCF/ CF variations. In FT-IR spectroscopy different functional groups in a molecule was identified. Fractured cross-sectional areas were studied by the scanning electron microscope analysis.
