Abstract:

The high cost of synthetic Fibre such as glass, carbon, kevars…etc., etc. results in high production and products derived from this material, which has necessitated alternative means of materials development. This has also informed the utilization of locally available bamboo, banana, and sisal Fibre for composite materials development. We could use natural Fibre as a renewable and cheaper substitute for synthetic materials such as glass, carbon, and aramid, used as reinforcements. In this work, the objective was to develop, investigate, and analyze a composite material's mechanical properties using banana, sisal, bamboo Fibres polymer. The long banana, bamboo, and sisal Fibre was extracted using chemical digestion and maceration methods. The composite fabrication was carried out using polyester resin as the matrix and the banana, sisal the bamboo Fibres reinforcement. Tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties such as tensile, hardness, and bending and impact strengths. Then results were studied and compared with each other.
