Abstract

The tensile, flexural and water absorption properties of randomly oriented short Sansevieria cylindrical fiber and Epoxy (SCFs) composites are described. Composites were fabricated using Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) treated Sansevieria cylindrical fibers (SCFs) with the fiber length of 30mm each and 40% weight percentage of fiber. At this length and weight percentage, the tensile, flexural and water absorption properties of the composite were increased and a curtailment in properties occurred for higher fiber length composites. To improve the interfacial bond between SCFs and Epoxy resin, chemical surface treatments have been performed on the fibers in varying composition of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% of Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) in distilled water respectively. Each type of treated SCFs samples was separately used for fabricating the composites. The fiber density and fineness were approximately 0.915 ± 0.005 g/cm3 and 9 Tex, respectively. Above the other KMnO4 treatment compositions, 30% KMnO4 treated SCFs revealed the optimum increase in tensile, flexural and water absorption properties.
