Woven sisal textile fiber-reinforced composites are used to evaluate tensile and fracture toughness properties. All specimens are produced that were repeated water absorption on 5 times in this study. The specimens are immersed in pure water during 9 days at room temperature, and dried in 1 day at 5

## Abstract The mechanical performance of short randomly oriented banana and sisal hybrid fiber reinforced polyester composites was investigated with reference to the relative volume fraction of the two fibers at a constant total fiber loading of 0.40 volume fraction (V~__f__~), keeping banana as t
In this paper, the experiments of tensile and flexural tests were carried out on composites made by reinforcing jowar as a new natural fibre into polyester resin matrix. The samples were prepared up to a maximum volume fraction of approximately 0.40 from the fibres extracted by retting and manual pr
