Tensile Properties Characterization of Rice Husk Fibre Reinforced Bio-Composite

Abstract

Engineering materials having two or more different physical or chemical properties make composites. In recent years natural fibres from agricultural waste have received more attraction as they offer number of advantages over traditional synthetic fibres. The proposed study has great use of agricultural waste which can be recycled easily and is environmental friendly also. A bio-composite reinforced with rice husk, rice husk particulate and mixture of husk and particulate i.e. hybrid in epoxy resin has been fabricated. The decrease in Ultimate Tensile Strength, Young’s Modulus and % Elongation was observed with increase in wt. %. Ultimate Tensile Strength, Young’s Modulus and % Elongation was recorded 66.5 MPa, 616.46 MPa and 10.6% respectively at 10%wt of rice husk particle reinforced composite.
