Experimental Comparison of Mechanical Stability and Morphology Between Tree Fibres and Shrub Fibres Reinforced Epoxy Bio-Composites

This research article investigates the composite material property based on synthetic and natural fiber
as a reinforcement. In this work, the epoxy bio-composites were prepared by natural tree fibres of Morinda-citrifiliaand
Tamarindus-indica with the shrub fibres of Tinosporacordifolia and Ipomoea staphylina for automobile structural
components, aircraft interior products and civilian applications. The prime objective of this experimental work is to
explicate the study and comparison of mechanical stability and microscopic study between tree fibers and shrub fibers.
The composite was prepared by hand- layup method, in this work , untreated fibers were used and both resin and fibers
are used 50%. The ASTM guidelines and the composite’s morphology were followed in the preparation of the test
specimens; it was studied with the help of FTIR and SEM. The mechanical test results show that ETI was superior to
all other composites in the tensile strength maximum of 8.13 Mpa and which was maximum in compression strength of
5.98KN, But in hardness ,ETC has high results compare with others.
