  Abstract: This study investigates the mechanical behaviour and water absorption characteristics of bagasse fibre and groundnut shell particle (GSP)-reinforced hybrid composites using a phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin matrix. Varying weight fractions of GSP (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were incorporated into the composites, with bagasse fibre content kept constant at 30% by weight. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were measured, and the water absorption behaviour was evaluated following ASTM standards.The results indicated …

  Abstract: Asbestos and alloys are materials that are frequently used as brake pads; however, because these materials pose risks to human health and the environment, including lung cancer, it is necessary to replace the materials used in brake pads. In place of the current brake pads, composite fibers such as kevlar, sugarcane bagasse, and coconut are studied in this study. The procedure of manually laying up composite molding is used to …
