Abstract
- Natural fiber composites are often sought after in industries, such as automotive and aerospace, due to their low density compared to traditional synthetic composites. Sisal and jute are renewable and biodegradable resources, making them attractive from a sustainability standpoint. The effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) insertion of a composed sisal and jute fiber composite material on the thermal and mechanical characteristics is investigated in this study. The primary objective of this research is to determine the exceptional mechanical strength and heat resistance that allows the composite-filled filling CNT to perform better than others. The methodical experimental approach was used to evaluate the effect of sisal and jute matrix and different amounts of CNTs' mechanical and thermal properties. Thermal behavior is found by thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical performance is used to qualify tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance. The result suggests that CNTs may have reinforcing properties and significant tensile and flexural strength improvement. Impact resistance improved and increased the toughness of the composite material. The 7% CNT composite exhibited improvements in tensile strength of 63.9% and flexural strength of 46.6%, suggesting the synergistic reinforcing effect of CNTs. The high temperature from the use of need resistance shows promise for the composite material based on the tests of its capability for heat absorption and thermal stability. Various technical contexts are potentially useful in focusing on environmentally friendly material creation that exhibits exceptional thermal and mechanical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
