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 azadirachta indica and glass fibre reinforced with epoxy resin hybrid natural fibre composites. The composites are fabricated by compression moulding method by varying the azadirachta indica fibre by 0, 2, 4 and 6% by weight (wt) fraction and the glass fibre with 8, 16 and 24% by weight fraction. The fabricated composites are tested for its mechanical properties such as hardness, impact strength and tensile strength as per ASTM standards. From the results, it is observed that the increase in azadirachta indica and glass fibre with 6 and 24 wt % increases in all the mechanical properties of the composites.
