摘要

Natural fibers have become a viable substitute for traditional synthetic fibers at composites owing to equivalent mechanical qualities, economic efficiency, environmental durability, and high strength ratio. The primary objective of study were analyze and evaluate mechanical characteristics of composites from natural agave americana and sisal fibers. The feasibility of the fibers as alternatives to aramid, carbon fibers or glass, was assessed. Subsequent to hand lay-up, their tensile and flexural strengths, as well as impact, was assessed using mechanical test. The incorporation of sisal (30%) and agave americana fiber (10%) into epoxy resin resulted in a significant improvement at TS, with raise of 15.81 MPa. The flexural test revealed that composite containing 30% sisal and 10% Agave americana fibers exhibited a flexural strength 64.15 MPa. Furthermore, drop weight impact test revealed composites containing 30% sisal and 10% Agave americana fibers withstood a highest force of 48 N. The environmentally friendly characteristics and economic efficiency of these composites augment their appeal as sustainable options across many industries.
