Drilling of fiber reinforced composite materials presents a plethora of questions to the engineers and scientists. A number of research endeavors have been made in the recent years to fully characterize the drilling process of fiber reinforced composite materials. The efforts have been made in the direction of optimization of the operating variables and conditions for minimizing the drilling induced damages. This paper presented the delamination analysis of drilled holes in coir fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The results indicated that the delamination factor in coir fiber-reinforced composites is lower comparing with glass fiber reinforced composites.

The influence of chitosan impregnation on the tensile and flexural strength of the short coir fiber reinforced polyester composites were studied in this investigation. The chitosan fillers were dispersed in polyester matrix, and laminates were prepared by reinforcing coir fibers in chitosan –polyester matrix. The composites were fabricated by varying filler content, fiber content and fiber length in three levels and their influence on tensile and flexural strength of the composites were studied. The composites with fiber length 30 mm, filler content 4% and fiber content 25% showed better values tensile (23 MPa) and at the same time the flexural strength (28MPa) of the composite was observed to be better with fiber length 30 mm, filler content 4 % and fiber content 25%.
