Abstract
During the last few years fibers like glass fiber, carbon fibers have received much more attention than ever before from the research community all over the world. The fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) consisting of glass, carbon or aramid fibers embedded in a resin such as vinyl ester, epoxy or polyester are emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problem of steel reinforcement. The Glass Fiber(GF) reinforcement is used with Polypropylene based composites for the better properties and less cost. The FRP is used in many fields like aerospace, automotive and marine industries for their unique characteristics like high strength, light weight, design flexibility and corrosion resistance. In this study the natural and synthetic fibers are fabricated by fiber reinforced plastics and compare with their mechanical properties. The better mechanical properties of fiber reinforced polymer is obtained and analyse the properties of natural and synthetic fibers.
