The two constituents space augmentation used in various engineering applications to increase the and a matrix. The most blessings of composite strength and to optimize the weight and the cost of the materials square measure their high strength and product. In this project banana fiber and coconut stiffness, combined with density, in comparison with sheath fiber are taken for the development of the bulk materials, letting a weight reduction within the composite material. The sodium hydroxide treated banana fiber and coconut sheath fiber is used as finished half. reinforcing material for Vinyl ester resin matrix. The reinforcing section provides the strength and Composites are formed by combining materials stiffness. In determined, the reinforcement solider, together to form an overall structure that is better than and stiffer than the matrix. The strengthening is the individual components. The two materials work commonly a fiber or a particulate. together to give the composite unique properties. Enhanced desired properties such as Banana plant not only gives the delicious fruit, but it Strength also provides textile fiber, the banana fiber. It grows Stiffness easily as it sets out young shoots and is most commonly found in hot tropical climates. All varieties of banana Toughness plants have fibers in abundance. These fibers are Corrosion resistance obtained after the fruit is harvested and fall in the Wear resistance group of bast fibers. Machinability properties of Reduced weight fabricated composite is evaluated by using lathe milling Fatigue life machine and also measured surface finish of the Thermal/Electrical insulation and conductivity machined components.

INTRODUCTION Metals have abundant, higher strength and stiffness compared to chemical compound materials like Composite Material is outlined as a mix of two or Epoxy that is employed as matrix in chemical further materials that finally end up in higher compound material shows in Fig:1.1. The planning of properties than those of the individual elements used composite laminate, whereas reinforcements improve alone. These natural composites have superior the mechanical properties in the longitudinal mechanical efficiency in quality, inflexibility and direction, the matrix mechanical properties contribute robustness compared to many non-natural composite principally within the cross direction. materials. These biological composites show stratified structures at several levels of hierarchy with length scales that modify from micro to Nanometers. In distinction to metallic alloys, every material keeps its separate chemical, physical, and mechanical IJIRT 148507 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN TECHNOLOGY 206 © July 2019 | IJIRT | Volume 6 Issue 2 | ISSN: 2349-6002 Fig:1.1 Metal Matrix Composites 1.2.2 Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Ceramic matrix composites showin Fig:1.2, conjointly referred to as fibre strengthened ceramics are becoming standard in material choice since Eighties. High modulus of elasticity of ceramics combined with superior toughness and strength contributed by the fibres have created CMCs a viable choice in material selection. Due to the crispness and presence of flaws, ceramic materials are susceptible to injury because of shock Fig: 1.4: Hemp Fiber Plant and Hemp fiber and impact loading. it's ascertained that the reinforcement of fibre will increase the fracture (b) Banana Fiber: energy by order of magnitude leading to high fracture Fibers square measure the cells with heavily hard cell toughness. walls having a slender lumen in cross section. Natural fibers possess many blessings over artificial fibers like tenuity Banana fiber show in Fig:1.5 could be a fiber with high strength, which might be intermingled simply with cotton fiber or alternative artificial fibers to supply intermingled material & textiles. Banana Fiber additionally finds use in first- class security/currency paper, packing artifact for agriculture turn out, wet drilling cables etc. Banana fiber, a lingo cellulosic fiber, gained from the Fig:1.2 Ceramic matrix composites pseudo-stem of banana plant, could be a natural fiber with comparatively sensible mechanical properties. Types of Natural Fibers: Applicable stiffness and mechanical properties and (a) Hemp Fiber: additionally high disposability and renewability. The fiber is that the most significant components of Also, they're reusable and perishable. the hemp plant. it's ordinarily referred to as bast, that refers to the fibers that grow on the surface of the plant’s stalk. Bast fibers offer the plants strength. Supported the process accustomed take away the fiber from the stem, the hemp might naturally be creamy white, brown, gray, black or inexperienced. a mix of covering material, hemp fiber is shows in Fig: 1.4, kenaf, and flax has been accustomed build composite panels for vehicles.

Banana paper is flexible hemicellulose and alternative greasy materials. These because it is waterproof and stronger than wood-pulp fibers were cleaned with water repeatedly and treated paper that means it are often utilized in packaging with dilute ethnic acid to neutralize them. Finally, the and while a basis for building materials. fibers were washed with water before drying in hot air kitchen utilization for an amount of 24 hours. 1.3.1 Characteristic of Banana Fibers: Presence the banana fibre is like that of bamboo fibre and ramie fibre, but its quality and rotation capability is well than the both. The chemical arrangement of banana fibre is cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It is highly durable fiber. It has less elongation. It has rather glossy appearance depending upon the removal& rotating method. It is light weight. It has strong moisture absorption quality. It captivates as well as releases moisture very quickly. (c) Coconut Sheath Fiber: Many fibers are obtainable in numerous elements of the Cocous nucifera. The sheath is created from AN inner mat that is sandwiched among two layers of coarse fibers. Solely preliminary studies of coconut leaf sheath fibre were reportable within the literature. Although the fibers from several elements of the Fig:1.6 Coconut Sheath Fiber Plant and Coconut coconut trees are place to use, the sheath fibers are Sheath Fibers left as immense waste.
