Tensile and flexural behaviour of rice husk and sugarcane bagasse reinforced polyester composites

Abstract In the present work, the natural composites based on sugarcane bagasse fiber and Rice husk powder were processed using hand layup technique. The matrix selected was polyester. The composites prepared with 0%, 3%, 5%, 10%, volume fraction rice husk with 10% sugarcane bagasse. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural were investigated as per ASTM standard. Test results are investigated and shown the better ratio composites.
