Abstract

The purpose of this research is to estimate the tensile properties of aloe vera fiber composites. This research is done to fabricate aloe vera fiber reinforced epoxy composite by varying compositions of fiber layers. The methodology used for the fabrication of composites is hand lay-up process. Tensile test and fractography of fractured surface have been carried out. From the results of the testing process, it has been found that the third composite specimen that has three layers of aloe vera fibers exhibited superior tensile properties. SEM analysis revealed the good binding adhesion between reinforcement and the epoxy resin matrix.
