Abstract

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.
