Wear Analysis of Rice Husk Shell Powder Reinforced Epoxy Composite

Abstract

Nowadays, with the awareness of the public along with strict legitimate forces over the use of polymers, the manufacturing and automotive industries started using the renewable materials. In this regard, rice husk powder reinforced composites play a vital role in developing lightweight structural materials. This study focuses on utilizing rice husk as reinforcement filler loading (10%, 20%, 30% treated and untreated) in epoxy resin. This composite was fabricated using hand lay-up process. The influence of filler volume fraction on the wear properties of rice husk filler was studied in this work. Test results revealed that the composite with 20% volume fraction treated rice husk reinforced epoxy composite has better wear properties.
