Abstract

Recently, immense interest was paid to new technologies dealing with environmental aspect. Upholding of natural resources such as natural fiber reinforced polymeric composite leads the upcoming manufacturing industry to search and scrutinize ecofriendly materials. The use of composites in manufacturing equipment and products is taking a very important space in the industry in general. Moreover these materials have unique characteristics when analyzed separately from constituents who are part of them. However it is know that care must be taken in their manufacture, as the use of appropriate process and the composition of each element, in addition to the adherence of fiber, which is a major factor in obtaining of the final mechanical strength of the product. One should also take into account whether the composites are environmentally friendly. For this reason, in this paper, a composite partially ecological was made, using natural fibers as reinforcement (sisal fiber and jute fiber), as strand which is a hybrid form of reinforcement in the polyester resin matrix phase to form a composite, seeking to improve the mechanical behaviour among its class of materials.
