  Mechanical and Sustainable Enhancement of Epoxy Composites using Tamarind Seed Powder

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, T. Vinod Kumar, Janarthanam Vijayanand, N. Sathishkumar, J.M. Babu, M. Nitheesh Kumar, V. Manoj Kanna

  Abstract: The investigation examines how tamarind seed powder affects epoxy-based materials for the development of waste-based useful products. The research examines the mechanical behavior of epoxy resin composites which contain tamarind seed powder in increasing percentages spanning from 10% to 40%. The team utilized the hand layup method to produce the composites which then fulfilled the ASTM guidelines for specimen fabrication for mechanical tests. The study examined fundamental mechanical parameters by …

  Mechanical Characterization of Hybrid Basalt Fiber Composites with Silicon Carbide Fillers

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, R. Selvam, Muninathan K., Janarthanam Vijayanand, P. Premkumar, Ruskin Bruce A., Sakthivel D., T. Balasubramanian, Jeyasuriya J., Mohamed Rashath M.

  Abstract: Natural fiber composites (NFCs) have experienced significant growth and innovation in recent research because to their advantages over synthetic fiber composites, including their lower cost and environmental impact. This paper investigates the tension and compression properties of hybrid laminate composites composed of stainless-steel wire mesh, epoxy resin reinforced with basalt fibre, and silicon carbide (SiC) filler. Composites with varying weight percentages of SiC filler (0%, 1.5%, and 3%), were made …
