In the present unsustainable environmental condition natural fibers are serving better material in terms of biodegradability, low cost, high strength and corrosion resistance when compared to conventional materials. The benefits of components and products designed and produced in hybrid composite materials instead of metals recognized by many industries. The main objective of this experimental study is to fabricate the banana-hemp-glass fibers reinforced hybrid composites and to evaluate the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength. There are three different types hybrid laminates are fabricated by hand lay-up method by using glass, banana and hemp fibers as reinforcing material with epoxy resin. The specimen is prepared according to ASTM standards and the experiment has been carried out by using universal testing machine (UTM). From the experimental results, it has been observed that the bananahemp-glass fibers reinforced hybrid epoxy composites exhibited superior properties and used as an alternate material for synthetic fiber reinforced composite materials. Morphological examinations are carried out to analyze the interfacial characteristics, internal structures, fiber failure mode and fractured surfaces by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis.

Composite materials are being used in huge quantity in every walk of the life by almost every country throughout the world. At present, in India the conventional fibers such as carbon, glass and Kevlar are being imported from other countries, causing high cost of production and also the conventional fibers are not degradable. In recent years, the natural fiber reinforced composites have attracted substantial importance as a potential structural material. The attractive features of the natural fibers like jute, hemp, sisal, coir, and banana have been their low cost, light weight, high specific modulus, renews ability and biodegradability. Naturally, composites reinforced with such natural fibers have thus been a subject of intense study for low strength, low cost application in contrast to the synthetic fiber reinforced composites. Since the interfacial bond between the reinforcing fibers and the resin matrix is an important element to realize the mechanical properties of the composites. The proposed work is carried out on natural fibres as they widely available with less cost and excellent properties. We are carrying out this project by preparing the specimens of Hybrid hemp and Banana fibres and tests are to be conduct to analyze the behavior and to study their properties. With respect to that we used to find the application areas in the automobile field. Banana fiber are acquired from the pseudo-stem of banana plant is a bast fiber with generally great mechanical properties. Plant filaments are schlerenchymatous cells with vigorously lignified cell dividers having a tight lumen in cross segment. Subsequently the present work we concentrating on to create hemp and banana fiber composite material and to play out a few tests to discover one of mechanical property that is 3-point Bending test lastly to recognize the application ranges of prepared examples.

The main objectives of this study was to More than Two fibres combined With fibre reinforced with Epoxy resin composites and to determine the maximum load withstanding capacity of the Epoxy composite laminates when they are subjected to tension as compared to the other composites. The specimens were prepared in different ratios of Fibre to resin volume fraction by weight and are subjected to tensile loading in a UTM and tested by gradually increasing the tensile load until it fractures. The results proved that the properties of Natural Fibre Epoxy Polymer composites were inflated with the Decrease in Natural fibre content maximum up to 80% by weight. Therefore, the findings of this tensile characteristics dependence of Natural Fibre with Epoxy Polymer can contribute to a better understanding in its applications.

Natural fiber composite is currently a leading module in the world of composites. It is due to many of its features such as freely available, easy processing, low cost, ability to replace usage of Glass fiber (Synthetic fiber), better strength properties and ecofriendly. They find useful applications in various fields from domestic to automotive sector as of now. Natural fibers with good content of lignocellulose, low density, and better elongation percentage are chosen for manufacturing of composites of above mentioned applications.

The development of many engineered product applications for automobiles and aircraft parts has initiated the search for novel materials as alternatives to metal matrix composites (MMCs). Natural-fiber-reinforced polymer composites offer distinct advantages such as biodegradability, eco-friendliness, flexibility, low density, and higher specific strengths, etc. This study focuses on natural-fiber (hemp and banana)-fabric-reinforced polymer composites suitable for exterior-engineered parts. The hand lay-up process is used to fabricate these hybrid composites. Exterior-engineered products are highly susceptible to moisture, which can deteriorate their mechanical performances, including their tensile and flexural strength, thereby affecting the durability of the hybrid composites. Therefore, the hybrid composites are subjected to water absorption tests, where samples are immersed in distilled water for week-long intervals. After each interval, the water-absorbed specimens are tested for...

Tensile and Impact Properties of Banana Fibre/Glass Fibre Hybrid Polyester Composites
Proc. 12th International …, 1999
Variations in tensile and impact properties of banana fibre reinforced polyester composites caused by the addition of glass fibre have been analysed. Banana fibre in combination with glass is excellent for making cost effective composite materials. The effect of the arrangement of glass and banana fibre in the preparation of composites have also been studied. A volume fraction of 0.11 glass mixed with banana fibre gives 54.5 % increase in the tensile strength and 196 % increase in the impact strength of the composites. Linear increase in tensile strength is noted as a result of the increase of glass. The tensile strength shows the highest value when a glass volume fraction of 0.17 is used and an interleaving arrangement of glass and banana fibre is followed. However, when lower volume fraction of glass is used, an intimate mixture of banana fibre and glass shows the highest tensile strength. The impact strength shows the highest value when a glass volume fraction of 0.11 is used.

This research work has been focusing on Hemp fibers has an alternative reinforcement for fiber reinforced polymer composites due to its eco-friendly and biodegradable characteristics. This work has been carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of hemp/E-glass fabrics reinforced polyester hybrid composites. Vacuum bagging method was used for the preparation of six different kinds of hemp/glass fabrics reinforced polyester composite laminates as per layering sequences. The tensile, flexural, impact and water absorption tests of these hybrid composites were carried out experimentally according to ASTM standards. It reveals that an addition of E-glass fabrics with hemp fabrics can increase the mechanical properties of composites and decrease the water absorption of the hybrid composites.
