Abstract

This paper reports on the fabrication and characterization of some important physical and mechanical properties of an agro-waste-filled hybrid polymer composite consisting of epoxy, jute fabrics and groundnut shell powder in different proportions. The epoxy composites are fabricated with the reinforcement of groundnut shell particulate filler by varying the weight proportions (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) and jute fabrics with constant fiber loading of 30 wt%. Physical and mechanical characteristics such as density, microhardness, tensile strength, flexural strength, and inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) are analyzed of the tailored composites. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of tensile fractured specimens are also analyzed to identify the cause of failure. The experimental results reveal that the tensile, flexural, ILSS is increased up to 15 wt% filler loading and then decrease marginally; however the microhardness values increased with the increase in filler content. The density and voids are also affected by the variation of filler content in the composites.
