Abstract

Researchers are always on the lookout for new materials to replace traditional ones. Natural fiber-based polymer composites are cost-effective and environmentally beneficial alternatives to traditional materials in a variety of basic technical and everyday applications. The creation and mechanical study of natural fibre based polymer composite materials has been attempted. Sunnhemp fibre and coir fibre are employed as reinforcement materials in this paper coir rope, and epoxy resin is used as a matrix. The study is done in three scenarios, taking into account the effect of fibre orientation, fibre volume in matrix, and fibre size in matrix. The coir rope was reinforced in the matrix in the first set of work to account for fibre orientations such as 0°, 45°, and 90°. The mechanical parameters of the material were calculated, including tensile strength and flexural modulus. In the second phase, coir and sunnhemp fibres are gathered from the local area, dried, and chopped for use in the matrix, with the volume fraction of fibre altering. The mechanical characteristics of the fibres and the pure matrix material were compared. The tensile behaviour of coir and sunnhemp reinforced epoxy was calculated at various fibre sizes in the third set of work. The characteristics of fibres vary depending on their orientation and the volume proportion of fibre in the matrix. Reinforcement of coir and senhemp fibres in pure epoxy improves the characteristics. For a fixed proportion of volume percentage, the fibre size variation in the composite does not propose exact patterns for mechanical behaviours.
