Abstract |
|
The natural fibre-reinforced composites are the deed of the time because of the growing concern on the environmental issues. Recently there has been a great interest in the industrial applications of composites developed from natural fibres, bio or industrial wastes. Because of their superior properties, the science is taking them as alternatives to the synthetic and non-degradable fibre composites. Visualizing the importance of polymer composites and owing to issues of environmental concerns, present work is an attempt to produce composites using a biodegradable material i.e. Makhana. Composites with 10, 20 and 30 weight % makhana particulate reinforced epoxy composites have been prepared using hand lay-up technique. Mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, and hardness have been investigated in detail. |
