Polyester Based Hybrid Composites

Many modern technologies require materials with unusual combinations which exhibit superior properties than individual materials. Generally the strong materials are relatively dense, also increasing strength or stiffness results decrease in impact strength. Now-a-days the engineers are searching for structural materials which have low density, high strength, stiffness, abrasion, impact resistance, low thermal expansion and or not easily corroded, at lower cost. In order to achieve above requirements it requires combining two or more different materials to get composite materials. Composites of with natural fibers from animal and plant resources offer an answer to maintain a sustainable development of economically and ecologically attractive technology. The interest in using biodegradable fibers received considerable attention as earth concise materials (eco-materials) and has been recognized as materials with a small environmental load, because biodegradable fibers have good strength and light weight. The structural aspects, in the present work the hybrid composites are developed, first by mixing fibers homogeneously and this fiber mixture is incorporated in the resin.
