| Popis: | For the past ten years research is going on to explore possible composites with natural fiber like plant fibers and animal fibers. The main properties of composites are their stiffness, hardness light in weight. In the present work, epoxy (Araldite LY-556) is used as resin and ‘Emu’ bird feathers as fiber to prepare the composites. The composites were prepared by varying weight percentage of fiber (P) of ‘Emu’ feathers ranging from 1 to 5 and length (L) of feather from 1 to 5 cm. The objective of the author is to investigate the effect of length and weight percentage of feather on tensile strength of “Emu” feather fiber reinforced epoxy composites |
