Abstract

Summary

This research investigated the sustainability of sisal/jute hybrid polymer composite for automobile application. Sisal/Jute
hybrid polymers composite are of low cost, light weight, as well as possess satisfactory mechanical properties, easy
making, availability and user friendly. Sisal/Jute fibres have been proven alternative to synthetic fiber and also
advancing with a substantial potential to displace conventional mild steel in the automobile industry. In this research
work, hybrid composites have been developed using hand layup technique based on percentage combination of Sisal and
Jute fibers in the form of laminates prepared from Unsaturate polyester resin. The prepared laminate samples were
subjected to tensile, flexural, impact and compressive, tests to evaluate their strength which was based on orientations
and fibre percentage combination. Sisal/jute hybrid polymer composite demonstrated fairly good mechanical properties
that could absolutely substitute conventional mild steel used in automobile body.
