Abstract
This paper presents an experimental report on the fabrication of natural fibre composite material. Natural fibres Hemp and Pineapple were used as reinforcement and epoxy resin and hardener mixed in 10:1 ratio, respectively, was used as matrix. Mechanical properties like tensile, breaking load, elongation, and impact strengths were studied for composites made of these natural fibres. Retting and manual process were used to extract the natural fibres. Hybrid composites were prepared using Hemp/Pineapple fibres of 0/40, 15/25, 20/20, 25/15, and 40/0 Weight fraction ratios, while overall weight of the epoxy resin was considered as 60% of total weight, and fibre weight fraction was fixed as 40% of total weight. The fabricated specimens were made and tested as per ASTM standards for finding the mechanical properties.
