- Composites are one of the most advanced materials with good adaptability. Composites reinforced with natural fibres have appreciable mechanical performance with an advantage of eco-friendliness. Synthetic fibers are being substituted by natural fibers in various kind of fields. Natural-fibre reinforced composite was made by compression moulding process. The percentage of jute fiber was 10% of the resin weight and size of fiber was varied from 5mm to 20mm. Used with 80% polyester resin (93P) and 2% cobalt accelerator & 8% MEKP catalyst for curing. The Natural-fibre reinforced composite was made with 8Mpa pressure at room temperature. Test specimen was taken from 200mmx200m sheet which was made by compression moulding machine. The investigation of mechanical properties using ASTM standard test for plastic materials. Complete analysis was about the properties with respect to fiber length concludes that mechanical properties increases as the size of fiber increases.
