Investigation Of Mechanical Behaviour Of Hemp And Wool As Reinforced Material In Frp Composites

Abstract

In the present scenario, there is a lot of demand for developing biodegradable, light weight with high strength and recycling materials in the automotive sector. The developments in technology to find better products often lead to an increase in emissions in the atmosphere. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used for technical applications has been increased in the last decade to overcome emission and other environmental issues. A natural fibre as reinforce materials in composites has been increased in recent years because of its availability, low cost and biodegradable properties. In this paper, a detailed review on the possible use of Hemp and wool as reinforcement of polymeric strengthening materials has been studied. Experimental analysis has been carried out by combining hemp and wool with epoxy resin and hardener with different ratios. Resin and the hardener composition percentages are taken as 60% and 40%, 80% and 20% respectively, and mechanical properties like hardness, Tensile and the pH value is enhanced.
