Abstract

Abstract The composite materials plays a vital role in increase the strength and weight reduction purpose. The natural fibers increase the additional strength to the composites. This paper is related to the mechanical properties of the sisal fiber reinforced composites and it is compared with the another preparation of sisal fiber reinforced composite. The graphs shows the comparison about the mechanical properties on the fiber reinforced composites. The strength can be improved by using some melted polypropylene to increase the bonding between the matrix and the fiber. The sample material is immersed in water for twenty four hours and at the same time the properties also measured by using various testing methods. The final comparison indicates the better process for the preparation of the composite.
