Development of Minibus Interior Wall Panel Using Hybrid Sisal and False Banana Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite

By: Demissie, Lemi

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, language: English, abstract: The general objective of this thesis is to develop new panel using hybrid sisal and false banana fiber reinforced by epoxy composite wich has better meterial properties than wood based panel currently used for minibus interior wall panel. The study is about application of sisal and false banana fiber for automobile body by extraction or buy of sisal and false banana fibers, prepare the fiber, chemical treatment, dry and cut, determine of fiber/matrix contents of the natural fiber composite, selectproper matrix, fabrication of specimens and tests are done according to ASTM test standard. Depending on tests result and comparison with existing panel material new panel is developed from sisal and false banana fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composite.
