Now a day’s waste becoming an environmental impact globally, the focus of the researchers have to admin the problem caused by the waste. The natural fibers mostly known as extracted fibers from plants which are available in large scale may solve the requirements of industrial components as well as automotive needs. The replacement of plastics with natural fiber components is one good choice to avoid large dump of thermo and thermo setting plastics. To attain the standards of solving desires of plastic thing replacements researches wished within the vicinity of natural fibers to obtain the comparative properties of plastics. To expand composites with good mechanical, chemical amendment of fibre achieved to reduce the hydrophilic conduct of fibers and the absorption of moisture. There are many publications on review of natural fiber reinforced composites, a notable research has been done on natural fiber polymer composites but research on jute, hemp, hybrid of jute and hemp fiber, hybrid (jute/hemp) fiber with SiC particulates as filler at specific extent fractions primarily based polymer composites are uncommon. The presence of SiC particulate as filler in the composite can significantly enhance the compressive strength, tensile strength and wear resistance of aluminum hybrid composite.
In this paper, hybrid natural fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites were fabricated using hand lay-up technique with different weight percentage of hybrid fibers and SiC particulates as a filler have been studied and their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, and flexural strength have been reported. It is observed that the tensile and flexural strength increases with hybrid fiber reinforcement due to SiC particulates as a filler. Failure mechanism of hybrid fiber composites has been discussed using scanning electron microscopy.
