1. INTRODUCTION

Now a days worldwide researchers are stressful to implement the natural fibres in the medical field as

implant material instead of Corban polymer plates and alloy materials therefore from the literature review

shows that the natural fibres are rehabilitation or bio-material, not harmful or bio-compatible or toxic to

living tissue and also Yan Li et.al found that Sisal fibre has No robustness or health risk [1] ,Sisal fibre in

the form of particles or fibres used in orthopaedics as bone implants as a substitute material in place of

alloy materials [3,4,29-32] and also now a days Bio composites materials biopolymers and natural fibers

pre-owned as bone implants [2] these natural fibres have an environmentally friendly alternative propriety

of several attractive ascribe that include lower density, lower cost, non-toxicity, ease of processing, capable

of being renewed and repossess [5-7].

2. CONVENTIONAL VINTAGE OF NFPCS

Natural fiber properties are varied to each other according to the present work, because of different several

of fibers, sources, and moisture conditions. The interpretation, representation, of NFPCs be contingen on

some feature, like mechanical framework, fabric [9],inadequacy, [10],refers to the angle between the

direction of the helical windings of cellulose micro fibric [8], fumigant. Properties [13], measures [11],

physical properties [12], and also the interplay of a fiber accompanied by the matrix [25]. seeing that all

possible product in desire has defect star comparably draw backs of natural fiber reinforced polymer

composites are the connection at, between natural fiber and polymer matrix are, complication, situation

difficult taken inside reflection, as a result of the a quantity by which amounts differ or difference in

chemical assembly between these two juncture. This, escort inadequate to, stress bear throughout the time

of interface of the NFPCs Thus, the chemical behaviours for the natural fiber are compulsory. To attain

good interface properties, the reagent functional groups in the chemical treatments have capability to react

on the fiber assemblies and alter the fiber composition [15]. Natural fibers contain a or interface properties.

The reagent functional clusters in the chemical treatments have capability to react on the fiber structures

and alter the fiber composition [15]. Natural fibers include a hydrophilic. During, process of NFPCs,

weaker interfacial attachment occurs between hydrophilic natural fibre and hydrophobic polymer matrices

due to hydroxyl group in natural fibres. Due to could produce NFPCs with non-stable mechanical and

physical properties [16].

3. MATERIALS

3.1. Raw Materials

The natural fibers such as Sisal, Jute, banana and Hemp were extracted by the decorticating process and

The fibres are prepared by Mat type i.e. fibre placed in X&Y Direction or with +/- 0 to 900 orientation and

borrowed from Chennai-Tamilnadu and these fibres are used for to fabricate the 16% & 24% Hybrid

natural fibre polymer composites.

4. METHODOLOGY

4.1. Methodology for Hybrid Natural Fiber Composite

Coated composites were succeed, thrive, with the aid of four different natural fibers such as jute, hemp,

banana and sisal with bi-directional orientation in which a Vacuum Bag technique procedure was used to

consolidate four dissimilar, materials in a hybrid Natural fibre polymer composite

Characterization is carried out by Epoxy resin -LY556 as a matrix material and hardener HY 951[15,

16]with 04% Sisal fibers + 04% Jute fibers + 04% Hemp fibers + 04% Banana fibers = 16% of Natural

fibers are placed layer by layer or ply in the form of orthotropic i.e. stacking sequence is 0±90º fiber

orientation filled with 04% aluminium oxide is used as Filler material the purpose of adding filler is to

boost the strength and stability of laminate or specimen and by using Vacuum Bag technique& the samples

were prepared according ASTM standards for Tensile ASTM D-3039 and for Bending Tests specimens are

prepared by ASTM D-790. Similarly fabrication for 24% is carried out and testing is carried out. For

natural fiber reinforced composite the number of layers varied from 4 layers. The curing time was around

24hrs at normal room temperature

4.2.2. Flexural Properties

Flexural properties of 16% and 24% Hybrid natural fibre polymer composites filled with composites with

varying amounts of fillerAL2O3 are shown in Table 1.

Flexural modulus for 16% and 24% Hybrid natural fibre polymer composites exhibited n growing

tendency with increased filler content. The growth of flexural modulus was attributed to the boosted

interfacial interaction existed between the matrix and filler,

4.2.3. Oxidative Biodegradation

4.2.3.1. Test Solution for the Oxidative Deprivation

For oxidative deprivation, the following solutions were proposed;

• Hydrogen peroxide and Water, e.g. 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, pharmacopoeia mark.

• Fenton’s reagent it is the dilute hydrogen peroxide solution and iron salts mixture, e.g.100µmol Fe² and 1

µmol H2O.

This stability range shall be specified, justified and reported.

Container & Number of test samples: Chemical grade glass wear had been used for the test. Three

samples were used for each test period. The samples were fully finished product. A different container

used for each sample& one blank used for each test period 1 Week.

4.2.3.2. Size and shape of test samples

The size and shape of the test specimen samples for corrosion test were prepared according to ISO10993-

12.The size, shape and surface area of the specimen has been chosen in such that equilibrium with the ruin

solution and constant mass for the determination of the mass balances that reached in a satisfactory time.

4.2.3.3. Mass/volume ratio

The ratio of the mass of the test specimen to the volume of the test solution should be at minimum 1g:

10ml. The test specimens were fully immersed in the test solution.

The ratio 1g:10ml was used for selected for practical explanations when using this ratio, however, it

has considered that the release of ruin products can interfere with the advancement of ruin itself and can

influence the rate of the ruin and the equilibrium of the ruin reactions .

4.2.3.4. pH Range

If the pH test solution is significant, the pH shall be maintained in an appropriate range. The pH chosen

shall be appropriate site of indented use. Changes in the pH induced by physiological phenomena, e.g.

during an inflammatory response, shall be considered.

The pH shall be reported and justified in the test report.

It should be recognized that, if the pH value is not maintained in the appropriate range, the degradation

products generated might or might not be the same as those that occur under biological conditions.

6. CONCLUSION

The following conclusions were drawn base on the observation made from test results of tensile and

bending test, also on results of Oxidative Biodegradation test carried out on prepared Hybrid Natural Fibre

Reinforced Bio-Composites.

• Increase in fiber concentration the tensile strength of the specimen also increased. When fibre concentration

is less the matrix and fiber interface shows weak bonding. The incorporation of fibre into resin matrix

increases the hardness of the composite, which is related to strength and toughness. The close packing of

fibres in the compounds increases the density while resilience decreases. The composites made from 250

mm length of Hybrid natural sisal, hemp, jute and banana fibers show the maximum tensile strength and

good tear strength. Resin can successfully used as matrix in bio composites. Using different surface

modifications of fiber the strength of the composites can be increased. Finally conclude that 24%Hybrid

natural sisal, hemp, jute and banana fiber composites will have good mechanical properties compare to 16%

Hybrid natural Sisal, hemp, jute and banana fiber composites.

• Hybrid Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have beneficial properties such as low density, less

expensive and reduced solidity when compared to synthetic composite products, thus providing advantages

for utilization in commercial applications (automotive industry, buildings, Constructions, and medical

applications). Using natural fibers as reinforcement for polymeric composites introduces positive effect on

the mechanical behavior of polymers. This paper evaluates the characteristics and properties of hybrid

natural fiber reinforced polymer composites: mechanical and SEM images

• From experimental results fig 11 it is found that negligible amount of weight is increased or gained by

specimen hence to reduce the weight gained bio-compatible coating is necessary on the natural fibre hybrid

polymer composite

• From pH value in fig 12 it is found if we increase the temperature the pH value also increases, then the

solution is having normal pH value not turning to acidic nature.

7. SCOPE FOR FURTHER WORK

• For these Hybrid Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite materials coating can be done by different bio-

compatible coating material

• Compare the Natural fiber properties to Ccorbon fibre, S-Glass fiber or E-Glass fiber and also to the widely

using biomaterial (SS316L) for Orthopaedic Implants especially for Femur Prosthesis.

• It is possible to conduct DME analysis to study the damping analysis, temperature that material can with

stand and stiffness of the material.

• Fatigue test can be carried out to measure the endurance limt that material posses.
