Experimental Study on Behavior of SiC Nanopowder Filled Flax and Sisal Fabric Hybrid Composites

In the present work, a series of works associated with flax and sisal fabric hybrid composites (FSHC) are fabricated by incorporating SiC (Silicon Carbide) nanopowder as a filler material. The study intends to analyze the result of addition of SiC nanopowder at varied loadings (0, 5 and also 10 weight fraction) on physical, moisture absorption as well as mechanical properties of two different FSHC (15/15 and 20/20 weight fraction) individually. The test results showed that increase in the addition of SiC nanopowder improve the tensile strength, flexural strength as well as resist the moisture absorption of 20/20 wt.% FSHC, whereas impact strength of both the composition of FSHC increase at 5wt.% and further decreases at 10 wt.% of SiC nanopowder. Fractography analysis was lugged away to check out the nature of fractured sampling
