  Fabrication and Testing of Physical Behavior of Coconut Shell Micro Particulate and Walnut Shell Micro Particulate Reinforced Epoxy Composites

  By Kalpana Sharma, Bhavana Mathur, Ratnesh Kumar Sharma

  Abstract: Enhancing the physical characteristics of high-performance materials is largely dependent on the reinforcement of polymers by microparticles. The physical behavior of polyester composites containing coconut and walnut shell microparticles was thus investigated in order to create an engineering material for industrial use. Most researchers investigated the flammability test of fiber bio-composites only. There is a possibility that two particular polymers embedded in a thermoset polymer matrix could provide the lowest …

  Eco-Sustainable Walnut–Hemp Reinforced Composites for Automotive Brake Applications

  By Mitali B. Gore, Ajit A. Bhosale, Deepak S. Watvisave, Ravikant K. Nanwatkar

  Abstract: The search for natural fiber-reinforced composites that can be used instead of manmade materials has been sparked by the growing need for eco-friendly materials in car brake systems. The study looks at three types of Walnut–Hemp Reinforced Friction Composites (WFRCs): WFRC-1, which is 10% walnut and 20% hemp; WFRC-2, which is 15% walnut and 15% hemp; and WFRC-3, which is 20% walnut and 10% hemp. Aspects like tensile strength, compressive …
