Fabrication and Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Quartz Particulate Reinforced Aluminium Composite
Abstract: Composites are processed by adding a reinforcement phase in a base metal. The base material is known as a matrix and the constituent that is added is called reinforcement. The matrix acts as a support while the reinforcements attach themselves in their respective positions which results in the synthesis of a material which has different mechanical and thermal properties compared to their raw materials. Since aluminium is used as a …

Plant-Derived Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: The Impact of Compatibilizer on the Fundamental Characteristics and Degradation Properties
Abstract: By using compression molding, unidirectional polypropylene (PP) composites reinforced with banana fiber were created both with and without the use of stearic acid (SA) as a coupling agent. Four filler loading levels (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight) were employed during the composite manufacturing process, using raw banana fiber. The resulting composites underwent mechanical testing (tensile, bending, and impact characteristics). The ideal combination of mechanical properties was found in …
