Significance of the work
In this research, four natural fibers were used as the main reinforcements with high density polyethylene (HDPE) as the matrix. This research will solve the problems of using natural fibers as reinforcements by investigating the optimum conditions for treating the fibers for efficient use in composite production. Fibers as reinforcements with high density polyethylene will upgrade their natural characteristics and can improve their commercial values. These natural fibers are environmentally friendly compared to synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers usually derived from petroleum as their main sources are non biodegradable, non renewable and have limited sources. Also burning of synthetic fibers may release toxic gases which are harmful to health due to green house effect. The development of natural fibers to replace the synthetic ones is important step to overcome all these issues. The advantages of using these natural fibers over the synthetic ones are low weight, recyclability, biodegradability and renewability. This research gives the best condition to synthesize polymer composite to suit industrial needs.
