Composites Materials- Aircraft, Ship, Automobile. Their most attractive properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio. Polymer composites are used because overall properties of the composites are superior to those of the individual polymers. The natural bio-resin are prepared from neem and Thennamarakudi oil with the concept of polyester resin. The reinforcement is screw pine fibre and fish scale fibre. The aim of this experimental study has targeted to investigate the vibration damping, sound absorption and moisture absorption of reinforced polyester resin polymer composites. The specimen fabricated are naturally bio-degradable and eco-friendly to environment because the resin and fibre are natural ingredients. Mainly to avoid all types of pollution. The laminated specimens were fabricate using hand lay-up technique and the specimens are subjected to the investigated as per the ASTM standards. The Moisture absorption test, Vibration test, Acoustics test were carried out on the laminated specimen to determine their properties.
