The effect of compatibilizer agent was studied when adding Aluminum fine powder (Al) to reinforce in Polypropylene (PP) by compared between polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and PMCs added Polypropylene graft maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH).The average particle size of the aluminum fine powder was around 75 μm filled in polypropylene with different proportions of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10wt%. PMCs were prepared using the internal mixer. The results found that when the amount of aluminum fine powder increased, the mechanical properties had changed, i.e., tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased, while the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. But, when adding compatibilizer 1wt% it was found that the trend of tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased that compared with non-compatibilizer, but the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. The part of the morphology of PMCs with non-compatibilizer was found that the particle of aluminum fine powder dispersed in the matrix phase, but there were many microvoids between filler and matrix. But, PMCs with compatibilizer caused the microvoids between filler and matrix to be reduced.

Now a day’s Natural Fibres Composites owing importance due to its Bio degradability, Light weight & Strength etc ., This project aims to investigate Mechanical Property evaluation of Jute fibre Eglass fiber, without chemical treatment and applied an compression load on the Jute fibre layers to be in uniform and Unidirectional. To evaluate the mechanical properties and weights of specimens are2 and 3 layeers taken, Epoxy & Hardener constant for all specimens. The Specimens prepared by Hand layup technique and specimen cuts with Manual Hacksaw frame and applied smooth filing to avoid notches during cutting. Testing’s for Mechanical properties evaluation used are tensile, and 3-Point Flexural testing’s on computerized UTM (INSTRON 3369). Hardness and Impact tests also performed per the ASTM standards.
