Abstract :
Nowadays, due to environment concern and financial problems of synthetic fibres, bio fibres are interesting to be used for many structural and construction materials. Natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composite for making low-cost materials are growing day by day. Researcher’s main attention is to apply appropriate technology to utilize these natural fibres as effectively and economically as possible to produce good quality fibre-reinforced polymer composites for various engineering applications .The combination of Aloe Vera and Ramie fibre may have better tensile strength and Flexural strength .The aim of this study is to evaluate mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural properties of these natural fibres. The composite is manufactured by hand-lay process method and it has five layers. Mechanical characteristics are compared with existing materials and used for structural and non-structural application as a product. Glass fibres are used to laminate the composites on the top and bottom because it increases the surface finish and increases the strength.
