Development of a New Bio Composite Material by Utilizing Walnut Shell Powder, Coir and Jute Fiber and Evaluation of its Mechanical Properties
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Increasing concern about global warming has made many researchers to focus on the use of natural fibers and minimize the practicse of using various non- biodegradable materials to save our valuable soil and environment. The objective of the present study is to investigate and compare the mechanical behaviour of coir fiberre, jute fiberre and walnut shell powder reinforced epoxy -based composites. The mechanical tests have been performed and the comparative analysis has been done on developed composite with different compositions of coir fiberre, jute fiberre and walnut shell powder with Haksons resins i.e part A & Haksons hardeners i.e part B. Fabrication of tiles was done by using simple hand layout method & the samples were made according to ASTM standards. It has been found that Specimen 1 has maximum flexural, hardness & impact strength.
