COMPARING IMPACT BEHAVIOR OF NATURAL FIBER WITH TERMITE MOUND AND EGG SHELL FILLER ADDED REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Natural fibers are biodegradable and eco-friendly materials which are available in vast. At present days researchers focus more on using natural fiber for the fabrication of new materials with different properties and products. The coir fibers are randomly oriented and successfully fabricated by using compression molding process. The investigation activity mainly focused on comparing the impact behavior of vinyl ester based termite mound filler added coir fiber composite and eggshell filler added coir fiber composite. The fabrication of composite test specimens is prepared with the different length of coir from 10mm to 50mm and the particulate weight percent from 10 to 30. The result discussed reveals that the termite mound filler added coir composite has higher impact strength than eggshell filler added coir composite.
