  Comparative Analysis of Tensile Properties of Virgin and Rice Husk-Reinforced PLA and ABS Filaments

  By R. Sudarshan, P.V.R Girish Kumar, V. Siva Prasad

  Abstract: This study focuses on evaluating the tensile behavior of polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filaments reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) particles, in comparison with their respective virgin counterparts. The incorporation of RHA, an abundant agricultural waste by-product, was considered with the objective of developing eco-friendly composites suitable for additive manufacturing applications. Tensile testing was carried out to assess the influence of the reinforcement on the mechanical …
