Abstract :

The aim of this study is to evaluate mechanical properties such as tensile and weight properties of natural fibersisal/jute epoxy composites. Microscopic examinations are carried out to analyze the interfacial characteristics of materials, internal structure of the fractured surfaces and material failure morphology by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).to scan the internal micro grain structure.The developed composites were characterized by tensile and three points bend tests and the experimental results thus Obtained were compared with that of the theoretical values. The results indicated that the incorporation of sisal fiber exhibited mechanical properties than the natural jute fiber with composites in tensile properties and jute fibercomposites performed better in flexural and natural jute fiber under mechanical properties.
