Abstract
The latest advancements in composite materials have offered an additional advantage to engineers as far as quality and cost. Along these lines, these materials are being favored over the regular materials in pretty much every field of science and innovation. Henceforth, further improvement in the current age cannot be conceivable without thinking about the significance of composites. Among all developed composites, the demand for natural fiber-reinforced composites is growing day by day due to ongoing environmental concerns. In this context, an endeavor is accomplished to build a novel hybrid composite through the natural fibers extracted from the bark of the Terminalia bellirica tree. The hand layup method was adopted for the preparation of the composite samples. To strengthen the mechanical properties of the material, carbon fibers, in varying weight percentages, were also dispersed in the matrix phase. The prepared samples were cut as per the ASTM standards for examining the tensile, flexural, and hardness attributes of the material. The results reveal that the varying percentage of T. bellirica + carbon fibers heavily affect the mechanical attributes of the developed composites. With this varying dispersion, the tensile strength of the composites samples increases whereas the flexural strength and hardness decrease.
