Synthesis and Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Laminae Composite

Polymer composites typically have fiber or particle phase that is stiffer and stronger than continuous matrix phase and serve as the principle load carrying members. The matrix acts as load transfer medium between fibers and less ideal cases where the loads are complex, the matrix may even have to bear loads transverse to the fiber axis. In this research the comparison of different synthesis and analysis of kenaf fiber treated with NAOH solution and the fibers reinforced with polypropylene resin and carbon fiber reinforced with epoxy resin respectively in a matrix form to prepare composite laminates to determine mechanical properties like tensile strength, compressive strength, impact strength and flexural strength with specimens by ASTM E-08, D- 638 standards. The analysis done in the Ansys 10.0 for various load and result factors. The composite nano structure is observed by using SEM (sesimic electron microscope) with 100x, 200x, 500x, 1000x, 2000x, 3000x, 4000x, 5000x. When designed and manufactured properly the new combined material exhibits better strength than each individual material. Composites are used not only for their structural properties but also for electrical, thermal, and Eco-friendly environmental applications.
