Investigations on Mechanical Performance of Multi-Layered Microwave Processed HDPE/Sisal Composites for Automobile Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present investigation is based on fabrication of sisal reinforced high density poly ethylene (HDPE) composites using a novel manufacturing route of microwave processing. Microwave processing was carried out in a multimode applicator at 2.45 GHz with single and multi-layered sisal fibre reinforcement. The comparison between single and multilayered sisal fibre reinforced composites were assessed in terms of tensile, flexural and impact strength. It was found that the multi-layered sisal fibre microwave processed composite has superior properties than single layered reinforced composite. The fractography of tensile fractured surfaces was assessed using electron microscopy. The microwave processed HDPE/sisal composites can be used as a dashboard material of an automobile.
