Abstract
Alkali-treated discontinuous cellulosic fibers (jute and sisal)-based heat-treated silanized fly ash-dispersed hybrid polyester composites were fabricated using a compression molding technique. The morphological features were observed using a scanning electron microscope and a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The bulk mechanical testing namely, microhardness, tensile, flexural as well as Izod impact was successfully executed. The significant effect of the filler (cellulosic fibers as well as modified fly ash) dispersion within the polymeric matrix with respect to mechanical properties was thoroughly examined in this present investigation.
