Development of low cost materials and composites, as a structural material is of interest in the view of Indian economy, particularly in the rural development. In the present study, Areca fiber and maize powder is used, as a reinforcing material and appears to be a promising material because they are inexpensive, degradable, abundant availability and also environment friendly. An appropriate methodology to develop a new material with the natural fiber hybrid composites are much in need. The present work deals with the areca fibers extraction from the dried Areca husk and maize powder from...
