Abstract
Natural fiber based composites are drawing in numerous researchers and scientists due to a great extent accessible in nature and specific properties Banana (Musa acuminata stem fiber) (MASF)) is one of the characteristic fiber with better mechanical properties. MASF reinforced polyester matrix composites (PMC) fiberglass with 10, 20, 30 and 40% fiber content were prepared and tested. The composites were characterized for tensile strength, tensile modulus and water absorptions properties using ASTM D 638-76 and ASTM D 570-81 standards, respectively. The highest mechanical performance of composites was achieved at 20 mm of fiber length composites followed by 30 % and 40 % fiber contentnt. This research showed that the optimum tensile stress of 560 MPa, tensile modulus of 785 MPa occurred at 30 % and 20 % fiber content respectively. The optimum properties of water absorption of were achieved at 40 % fiber content.
