  Grey Relational Analysis of Cuttlefish Bone Particles–Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

  By Manickavasaham G, Elangovan R, Vijaychandran R, Ramkumar R, Poonggazhal TTK, Annamalai N

  Abstract: This research examines the mechanical characteristics, water absorption performance, and thermal stability of epoxy composites reinforced with Cuttlefish Bone Particles (CFBP) and glass fibers. Composites were fabricated with varying CFBP contents (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) using an epoxy resin as the matrix material and glass fiber as the primary reinforcement. The experimental results revealed that the CFBP-0 composite (neat epoxy with glass fiber) exhibited the highest tensile strength, …

  Development of Environmentally Sustainable Epoxy Composites with Sunflower Seed Husk Fillers and Study on Thermal and Moisture Properties

  By Manickavasaham G, Balaguru P, Poonggazhal TTK, Saravanan S

  Abstract: This study examines the development and characterization of epoxy composites reinforced with sunflower seed husk (SSH) fillers fabricated using the compression molding technique. SSH fillers were categorized into two distinct particle size distributions, namely, 4–53 µm and 79–463 µm, and were incorporated into the epoxy matrix at varying volume fractions ranging from 5% to 20%. The water absorption behavior of the composites was assessed according to ASTM standards, and thermogravimetric …
