摘要:Now a day’s natural fibers are rapidly used as the reinforcement material in polymermatrix composites due to their advantages like low density, environment friendly,higher stiffness, etc over the regular fibers. In present study, two different polymersused as the matrix materials. Okra and jute fibers are used as the reinforcementmaterials. Each polymer is reinforced with two natural fibers with fixed 15% weightfraction. Groundnut shell ash with weight fraction of 3% and 5% was used as the fillermaterial for all the composites. Composites Preparation and testing were conductedaccording to the ASTM standards.Tensile, hardness, impact and compressive strengthswere conducted to find the mechanical behaviour of the composites.
