摘要
An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the tensile and wear characterization of polymer composites made by reinforcing Calotropis Gigentea fruit fiber as a new natural fiber into a polyester resin. The Calotropis Gigentea fibres extracted by manual processes have been used to fabricate the composites. The composites are fabricated up to a maximum volume fraction of fibre of 0.35. The tensile strength increased with increase in fiber content. Further, the wear behavior of the Calotropis Gigentea fruit fiber composite were studied with increase in fiber content.
