Usage of Natural Fiber Composites (NFC) is increased rapidly due to the bio degradability nature of the fibers. These natural fibers are mixed with synthetic fibers to obtain better mechanical properties. In this study, pine apple and glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites are developed and their mechanical properties were evaluated. Composites were prepared by varying the fibers content and by using hand layup process with glass moulds of size 160 x 160 x 3 mm3 . The obtained laminates were sliced as per the ASTM criterion to test the properties. Higher glass fiber content in the composite specimen obtained higher mechanical properties. The composites can be utilized for the purpose of manufacturing components like doors panels, desks, roof tops etc.

The aim of this research work was to develop the optimal mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength of sisal and glass fiber-reinforced polymer hybrid composites. The sisal, in the form of short fiber, is randomly used as reinforcements for composite materials, which is rich in cellulose, economical, and easily available as well as glass fibers have low cost and have good mechanical properties. In addition, epoxy resin and hardener were for the fabrication of composites by compression molding. The selected materials are fabricated by compression molding in various concentrations on volume basics. The combination of material compositions is obtained from the design of experiments and optimum parameters determined by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). From the investigation of mechanical properties, the sisal is the most significant factor and verified by ANOVA techniques. The multiobjective optimal levels of factors are obtained by LINGO analysis.
