Chemical treatment on hemp/polymer composites

Murali B. and Chandra Mohan D.

Abstract

Fiber which is a reinforcement in bolstered plastics is also synthetic or natural past studies show that only artificial fibers like glass, carbon etc., are employed in fiber bolstered plastics. though glass and other man-made fiber bolstered plastics possess high specific strength, their fields of application ar very limited owing to their inherent higher price of production. in this connection, associate degree investigation has been meted out to form use of Hemp , a fiber copiously accessible in Bharat. Natural fibers don't seem to be only sturdy and lightweight but additionally relatively the lowest. in the present work, Hemp composites ar developed and their mechanical properties are evaluated. Mechanical properties of Hemp/polymer and compared with glass fiber/epoxy. These results indicate that Hemp can be used as a possible reinforcing material for creating low load bearing thermoplastic composites.
