EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF HYBRID (ROSELLE, ALOE VERA AND GLASS) NATURAL FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIAL

This paper aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of Glass fiber/ Aloe Vera fiber / Roselle fiber hybrid composites. The fiber fabrics are in the seven layers of same the sequence. The epoxy resin used in this research work is LY556 with hardener HY951. The hybrid specimens are fabricating by hand layup techniques. Tensile, Flexural, Impact and hardness tests were conducted for characterization of the hybrid composites. The results show that the properties and use of the hybrid aloe Vera fibre /Roselle fiber with glass fiber reinforced composite can ameliorate. It helps as a best alternate material for GFRP composites.
