ABSTRACT
Glass fibers /Drumstick fibers/banana fibers reinforced with epoxy sandwich composites were fabricated. Impact strength, frictional co – efficient and dielectric strength were studied and analyzed. It is analyzed that the impact strength and frictional co-efficient properties were improved with simultaneously improving Glass fiber content. The samples were treated with NAOH solution and non-treated samples are also collected. The variation between the treated samples and non-treated samples were studied. The fabricated composite possess good insulation property.
Keywords:
DFF fiber, impact strength, chemically treated fibers, non-treated fibers, dielectric strength, coefficient of friction and insulating property.
