Mechanical and microscopic study on Tinospora cordifolia and Tectona grandis composites

The use of natural fibers in various forms for over the 3000 years in India, today the use of plastic is
increasing day by day; increasing usage of plastics affects the environment heavily. To reduce and control
the usage of plastic can be possible only finding the new fiber-based material usages for the various
purposes. The natural fibers are ecofriendly, decomposed naturally and it is economical also. In this
research article made an ideological implantations to find a new fiber based composite material for the
application interiors of the automobile body. In this investigation has been carried out to make use of
Tinospora cordifolia, Tectona grandis, a natural fiber available in India, which is light-weight and strong

for some medical purposes, but not used for the composite material fabrication. The fiber, which serves as
a reinforcement with epoxy and bisphenol resins and the mechanical properties were characterized.
