Title: Preliminary Investigation on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Biocomposite Materials
Author Name:Ch. Umesh Chandra and N. V. Ramesh Maganti
Synopsis:
Composite materials are those containing combination of different materials to cater to the requirement of properties that are not possible from a single material. They could be Natural or Engineered materials. Such materials often result in lightweight structures having high stiffness and tailored properties for specific applications, thereby saving weight and reducing energy needs. Biocomposites are composite materials made from Natural Fibers. This paper deals with preliminary experimental investigation on Mechanical and Thermal properties of Natural Fiber reinforced composites made from banana, hemp and wood fibers as reinforcements and high density polyethylene as a resin. It is observed that the biocomposite with hemp fiber exhibited better strength and thermal stability in comparison with other composites.
