Properties and Characteristics of Sisal Fibre Reinforced Composite

Abstract:

Using the pin on disc wear testing machine the wear characteristics of sisal fibre composite of different content were studied and alignment of fibres in polymer composite were known by scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that when there was no fibre content, the wear was ~25 micron but when the fibre content made 10% to the polymer, the wear increased upto 100 micron and its increased 125 micron at 20% fibre content, after this there is sharp decrease in wear when the sisal fibre content was increased up to 40% and its again reached to 25 micron when the fibre content was increased up to 60% and again after increasing the fibre content 80% the wear gradually increased to 175 micron. Thus to have less wear the fibre content should be 60% in composite.
