Abstract
This paper focuses on the effect of granite-micro-filler on static mechanical properties, damping behavior, and physical characteristics of silk-sisal hybrid composite. The composites structures are fabricated by using three layers of plain weaves mat with varying weight percentages (2, 4, and 6 wt%) of granite-micro-filler by hand layer process. The effect of granite-micro-filler on silk-sisal is analyzed and results are compared with pure silk-sisal (without granite-Micro-filler) hybrid composite. The results infer that; the tensile strength and flexural strength value of the developed silk-sisal hybrid composites are increased with the increase in wt% of granite-micro-filler content than pure silk–sisal, approximately 5% and 9% improved value in order by adding 6 wt% granite-micro-filler on silk–sisal. The tensile and flexural fracture morphology analysis indicated that composed plain weave of silk–sisal fiber mat with two (longitudinal and transverse) directions possesses higher mechanical properties and also observed that, granite-micro-filler dispersed on silk–sisal fiber mat and resin with closely packed. The improved damping factor is obtained by adding 6 wt% of granite-micro-filler content, which is approximately 75.8% higher than pure silk–sisal. The physical properties of silk–sisal hybrid composite have also been analyzed and well discussed in this paper.
