| Abstract | The paper is about the study of effect of nano silica on the tensile properties of woven banana and s-glass fiber reinforced hybrid polyester composite. Now a day’s natural fibers plays an important role in field of composites because of their low cost, low density, eco-friendly and minimum waste disposal but they posses moderate strength only, where as synthetic fibers posses good strength but they are toxicity to the nature. So to overcome the strength and environmental issues a new modern hybrid composite is prepared by using the both natural and synthetic fibers. The new composite is fabricated by hand lay-up method. The reinforcing materials are in the form of layers of banana and s-glass fibers, polyester resin as matrix and nano silica as filler material. Different samples were prepared by changing the layers of fiber placed in the composite and also by changing weight of nano silica powder that is mixed into the resin. The properties like tensile strength and tensile modulus were studied. The fibers pull out, stacking of fibers and the behavior of matrix in composite are observed through scanning electron microscope to complete the morphological study. With the change of placing of fibers in composite and weight of nano silica in the matrix shows the improvement in tensile properties. |
