This study investigated the effects of incorporating green pea fiber (GPF) and egg fruit seed micro powder (ESP) into an epoxy-based biocomposite. Studying the effects of silane-treated fiber on the load-bearing and time-dependent behavior of a polymer matrix composite was the primary focus of this research. To create these composites, an amino silane-treated green pea pod sheath fiber and egg fruit seed powder were utilized, and the composites were made using the hand layup technique. The composites are further tested in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It was found that mechanical properties are improved after being reinforced with treated GPF and ESP. The SEM images of broken composites revealed highly reacted stages of fiber and uniformly dispersed ESP in the matrix. Similarly, when 40 vol.% of GPF was added with 1 vol.% of particle, the fatigue life counts increased to 38,628. The uptake of water was moderately affected by the addition of fiber, but this is still within acceptable limits of hydrophobicity. This characteristic investigation demonstrated the potential use of epoxy with surface-modified GPF and ESP composites in a number of industrial applications for both weight reduction and improved performance.
