Abstract

In the current scenario, non-decomposable fibres are the major problem in every field. The present work deals in studying the mechanical properties of Calotropis gigantea and jute fibre reinforced with epoxy resin hybrid natural fibre composites. The composites are fabricated by compression moulding method by varying the Calotropis gigantea fibre by 0, 5, 10% by weight (wt) fraction and keeping the jute with constant 10% by weight fraction. The fabricated composites are tested for its mechanical properties such as hardness, impact strength and compression strength as per ASTM standards. From the results, it is observed that the increase in Calotropis gigantea fibre increases all the mechanical properties of the composites.
