Abstract :
Nano cellulose from plant fibres were selected
as reinforcement. Sansevieria Trifasciata and Pandanus
Utilis were selected as the source of the biomass. Polyester
resin was selected as the matrix. The investigation involved
the variables type of CNC and Wt. % of CNC in the
matrix. Full factorial design of experiment was carried out.
Composites was manufactured under vacuum and tensile
and flexural test were performed as per ASTM standards.
The maximum tensile and flexural strength were noted at
5 Wt.% of CNC, the mechanical strength of S.T CNC
reinforced composite was always higher than that of P.U
CNC one. A general increase in strength was noted as wt.
% of CNC increased for both biomass.
