Experimental Results of Coconut Shell Polymer Matrix Composites
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Composite materials are made from natural and eco friendly materials. These types of materials are used in agricultural straws and coconut shell. When using intermediate material like filler, due to changes in thermal stability properties is good, when compared to other agricultural waste. Epoxy polymer matrix, containing with coconut shell as filler up to 10 Wt%. Glass fibre laminates with filler was also studied. A result for all the 90 degree laminate strength, shows increment that means addition of filler, hardens the resin and improves the strength of the resin. Optimum Wt% for coconut filler is 2.5% and teak wood is 1%, % of change in strength 18.69% and 20.58%, respectively. In the case of 0 o laminate this will give the filler effect with fiber for coconut shell 1% and 2.5% shows increment in strength, % of change in strength 5.75%and 10.06% respectively.
