Tensile Behavior of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Thinner Sisal Fibers

Abstract:

The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites is replacing the use of synthetic fibers, especially from an environmental standpoint. Indeed, natural fibers are biodegradable and renewable, with no aggression to the environment. Moreover, they are worldwide abundant with relatively low cost. It was found that fine fibers of sisal, with the thinnest diameters can achieve tensile strength on the order of 1000 MPa. In this work, tensile specimens were prepared with 30% in volume of sisal fibers with diameters between 0.1 and 0.10mm incorporated in a continuous and aligned way into epoxy matrix. The results showed a significant increase in tensile strength and elastic modulus of the composites as a function of the incorporated amount of thinner sisal fibers.
