Synthesize and characterizations of glass-reinforced plastic/selective sisal fiber with sodium-oxidanide treated hybrid composite

Nowadays composite materials are indispensable but the supply is limited. In particularly, the supply of material is limited for specific applications. Light weight low strength applications are very wide. This investigation focuses the natural fiber hybrid with artificial fiber-based hybrid composite preparation. The sisal fiber is used to prepare the composite with Glass-Reinforced Plastic. The sisal fiber is here treated with specific concentration of sodium oxidanide in the distilled water. The composites synthesized with treated and untreated sisal fibers. The alternate fashion of horizontal and vertical is followed for fibers' orientation. The bio epoxy is employed as matrix material with mix of hardener. The prepared composite is characterized by water absorbability, tensile properties, flexural properties and shock absorption capacities. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
