A Comparative Study of the Effect of Natural Fillers Embedded in Jute/Basalt Hybrid Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study illustrates how the mechanical characteristics of a composite may be altered by adding powdered natural fillers such as fish scales or coconut shells. Hand lay-up approach has been used to create the Jute/Basalt hybrid composite with fillers. The epoxy and hardener were combined at a weight ratio of 10:1, and then the natural fillers were added at varied percentages of 3%, 6%, and 9%. The ASTM standards were used for the mechanical test. Fish scale filler has greater tensile and flexural strengths than coconut shell powder, but the latter's impact strength grows with increasing amounts of filler. Jute/basalt composites were also subjected to a water absorption test, the results of which showed that those containing fish scale powder absorbed significantly less water than those containing coconut shell powder.
