TITLE OF THE PROJECT
Fabrication and Testing of Mechanical Properties of Morintah
Fringona Fiber Reinforced Composite
INTRODUCTION
• A composite material can be defined as a combination of two or
more materials that results in better properties than those of the
individual components used alone. In contrast to metallic
alloys, each material retains its separate chemical, physical,
and mechanical properties. The two constituents are a
reinforcement and a matrix. The main advantages of composite
materials are their high strength and stiffness, combined with
low density, increasing the strength or stiffness generally results
in a decrease in impact strength.

CONCLUSION
• Natural fiber is biodegradable, eco-friendly and renewable
raw material. Natural fiber has good thermal insulation
properties and good mechanical properties. But the strength of
the natural fiber depends on the loading imposed on the fiber
and young modulus of the fiber. It also depends on the fiber
weight ratio, cultivation process fiber extracting process from
the plant harvesting time, manufacturing process and also
depend on the fabrication methods of the natural fiber with
polymeric matrices. Natural fiber composites are the
combination of two different types of materials which create a
new versatile material in the field of industrial, engineering and
