| Popis: | Nowadays, synthetic fiber composites are in decline because of their high initial cost and detrimental impact on the environment. The main aim of this work is to develop natural fiber composite materials that are made from moringa and bamboo fibers by using the hand lay-up method by maintaining a constant 40 vol.% of epoxy content. Both the natural composites were treated with NaOH and also compared with their hybrid composite. The mechanical properties, such as compression, hardness, impact, tensile, flexural properties were investigated. Additionally, thermo gravimetric analysis of composites was also carried out. The biggest boost in compressive strength was seen in bamboo with 60% volume, with improvements ranging from a pure resin value of 13.06 to 68.43% compared to moringa 60% and 30–30% moringa-bamboo. The maximum rise in impact strength was recorded by BM-30/30 at 21J. In addition to this, the highest hardness value was observed by moringa-reinforced composites (MM-60) and noted to be around 40.83 HV. Tensile and flexural properties of all the composites reveal improvement as compared with neat epoxy composites. Bamboo exhibits a considerable improvement in thermal stability as compared with other compositions. Scanning electron micrographs were used to analyze the structure-property correlations. |
