Using natural fibers that are inexpensive, lightweight and biodegradable, as the reinforcement for composites is difficult due to their poor interfacial properties between hydrophilic fiber and hydrophobic polymer matrices. It is necessary to evaluate fracture toughness of natural fiber reinforced composites according to water absorption rates to improve mechanical performance of those. In this study, compact tension fracture test was conducted to evaluate fracture toughness with the various specimens. The value of fracture toughness has the tendency to decrease as water absorption rate increases. And different surface treatment methods and different polymer matrices have influence on the value of fracture toughness.

Although fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have until now been largely applied to various fields of engineering, these materials have also been used in many technical applications, especially where high strength and stiffness are required, but with low component weight. Among various natural fibers, banana fiber is of particular interest in that its composites have high tensile strength, high tensile modulus, and low elongation at break beside its low cost and eases of availability. In this study, banana fiber and glass fiber reinforced polyester Resin composites were prepared using hand lay up technique . Experiments are conducted to compare and to find the effect of fiber volume fraction on mode I fracture toughness of both composites.
