摘要:Ease of availability, good strength, low cost and biodegradable nature is the features of biodegradable materials that have held the attention of researchers. In our research work, we carry out tensile and bending test o n two biodegradable composites: Vinyl ester reinforced with coconut fibers and vinyl ester reinforced with coconut fibers and rubber particles. The compositions of coconut fibers and rubber particles are varied so as to obtain composites of different strengths. A comparison of the same has b een made. Relevant conclusions have been made on the obtained results. This paper will lay a fo undation for vinyl ester and coconut fiber biodegradable composite towards recommendation for practical applications.
