Abstract
In this paper, the compressive strength of the natural fiber composites was investigated, especially on those epoxy based materials. Mulberry, cornhusk and commercialize weave jute reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated and the results were obtained through compressive test experiment. Comparison was made based on a Buransky model with the experimental results. Alkaline treatment was used to modify and alter the lumen structure of the natural fibers. It showed that the alkaline treated natural fiber composites gave promising improvement in the compressive strength compared with the raw natural fiber composites. It also showed that the misalignment angles played another vital role in in compressive strength performance. Buransky model can be used to predict the experimental results based on condition that failure occurs on the predicted misaligned angle.
