Opis

Particulate based reinforced MMCs are attractive and much need materials because they exhibit good specific properties and can be produced by conventional metal working processes. Hence, they are being increasingly used in the automotive sectors and aircraft sectors. The applications of MMCs are well established in the space industry and they are now applied due to improved mechanical strength of various light weight components. The wide availability of natural fibre has encouraged the researchers to develop natural fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. Global development depends on effective utilization of resources such as natural materials and its products. However, natural materials possess lower mechanical properties such as strength, flexibility, durability and so on. Hence, the natural fibres are combined with some of artificial materials to produce composites.
