Hardness and Impact Strength of Silk/Hemp–epoxy Composite
Abstract
The aim of this research is to find the hardness and impact strength of natural fiber reinforced polymer composite. Natural fiber of hemp and silk are selected as reinforcing element in a percentage of 10%, 20% and 30% with epoxy resin LY 554/6 and hardener HY951. The result shows the improvement in bearing hardness and impact strength properties of hemp and silk reinforced polymer composite. Traditional hand-lay-up method was used for preparing the samples.
