Abstract
Green composites are the other alternative materials in which researches are being carried out to overcome the problem of synthetic polymer made composites. In this paper an attempt is made to produce natural fibre made hybrid polymer composite. The matrix is made from Cashew Nut Shell resin and General Purpose resin with jute as fiber. The hybrid polymer is made by mixing Cashew Nut Shell liquid with General Purpose resin in different proportions. The stressstrain behaviour of composite during tensile loading is studied in this work. The test results show that by the addition of cashew nut shell resin, the strength of the composite decreases. It is concluded that strength of the composite is compromised at the cost of bio-degradation. These give the wide scope to work with CNSL with other polymer resins to implement for structural application and to increase the mechanical property with proper reinforcement. © Research India Publications.
