Abstract

Our Experimentation finds, reaction of fibre external analysis on tensile, flexural and chemical resistance properties were studied for sisal fibre reinforced composites. Fibre surface analysis has done to produce link between fibre and the matrix to improve the mechanical properties. Fibre surface analysis were done by boiled the sisal fibres in different % of NaOH and treated the fibres in different % of NaOH, treated in acetic acid and methanol. Polyester resin have used as the matrix for preparing the composites and these properties for Natural sisal fibre reinforced composites were also studied. From the results it was observed that 25% NaOH boiled sisal fibre reinforced composites have higher tensile, flexural properties than other composites. Natural sisal fibre composites show fewer properties than treated composites. Chemical inertness properties indicate that all sisal fibre reinforced composites are resistance to all chemical agents except carbon tetra chloride.
