Abstract :
Now a day’s natural fibers are rapidly used as the reinforcement material in polymer matrix composites due to their advantages like low density, environment friendly, higher stiffness, etc over the regular fibers. In present study, two different polymers used as the matrix materials. Okra and jute fibers are used as the reinforcement materials. Each polymer is reinforced with two natural fibers with fixed 15% weight fraction. Groundnut shell ash with weight fraction of 3% and 5% was used as the filler material for all the composites. Composites Preparation and testing were conducted according to the ASTM standards.Tensile, hardness, impact and compressive strengths were conducted to find the mechanical behaviour of the composites.
