Biocomposite materials have become increasingly relevant in a range of industrial applications in recent years. Compressive molding was employed in this study to manufacture banana fiber (BF)–reinforced epoxy (E) biocomposites in addition to banana particle (BP)–reinforced epoxy (E) biocomposites. Four distinct composites were created utilizing the stacking series E, E/BF, E/BP, and E/BFP, with 15% BF, BP, and 7.5% of each fiber and particle replaced with 85% E. So for research that has been done on hybrid composite on different fiber–fiber combinations, in this present work, we carried out fiber-particle combinatory composites. The composites' surface shape, mechanical characteristics, and water absorption capacity were all comprehensively investigated. The results indicate that E/BFP has superior mechanical properties to other samples. The water absorption test was performed on three separate types of water, including ordinary tap water, distilled water, and sea water. Sea water absorbs more water than the other two categories. Additionally, thermal and FT-IR analyses were performed to determine the material's thermal strength and chemical composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
