APPLICATION OF ALOE FEROX WITH BANANA FIBER AS COMPOSITE PLATE FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSE

A composite consisting of Aloe Ferox Fiber and Banana Fiber is carried out by using Compression Molding Process with the help of Epoxy Resin. Composite plates are produced which is a double layer of one fiber over the other fiber and mixture of chopped f ibers to increase its strength and ability. Both the fibers are treated with sodium hydroxide. Separate specimen plates are made for testing according to the ASTM standard. A Comparison is made between alignment of fiber in molding process as continuous a nd in chopped state condition to avoid gap, void in between the fibers in order to increase their strength, withstanding capacity to overcome commercial products such as plastics and plywood.
