Abstract

Fibre 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 compared to neat polymer resins. Reinforcement in polymer is either synthetic or natural. The objective of the project work is to study the physical and mechanical behaviour of coir/glass fibre reinforced epoxy-based hybrid composites. The project focuses on the effect of variation in the arrangement of fibre layers on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composites. Specimen is prepared with coir fibre and glass fibre as reinforcing material and epoxy resin as a matrix in the polymer composite. The arrangement of the coir fibre and glass fibre layers were changed and moulding was done by hand lay-up technique, keeping the mould closing as constant. The specimens were subjected to tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength test and the failure of the composite was examined.
