  Assessing the Mechanical, Structural and Thermal Performance of Boehmeria Nivea and Agave Sisalana Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite by using Seashell Powder as a Filler Material

  By Hariharan Chandran, Parthiban Alagesan, Ajithram Arivendan, Ranjan Das

  Abstract: Natural fiber composites have replaced plastics and have been used to the maximum extent. Hybridization of natural fibers with filler materials has achieved higher tensile, impact, and flexural strength compared to single fiber composites. In this research, the mechanical properties were investigated with the ramie and sisal hybrid fiber reinforced with seashell powder as filler material. Filler material can enhance the flexural property of the natural fiber. Hybrid composite plates …

  Basalt Fiber, Palm Fiber, and Seashell Powder Reinforced Hybrid Epoxy Composites: A Mechanical Characterization

  By Pavan Kumar Rejeti, Turali Narayana, Raghuveer Dontikurti, Pilla Devi Prasad, Laxmanaraju Salavaravu, Talabaktula S. Viswanadham, A. Rajesh Kannan

  Abstract: This study investigates epoxy-based composites reinforced with basalt fiber, palm fiber, and seashell powder fabricated via hand lay-up. Mechanical characterization included tensile, flexural, hardness, and impact testing, supported by ANOVA and TOPSIS analyses. The Basalt-Epoxy composite has the highest mechanical strength among the systems under investigation, with a tensile strength of 275 N/mm² and a yield stress of around 215 N/mm². Compared to Palm-Epoxy composite, which has the lowest mechanical …
