Mechanical studies on jute fabric And fruit peel nanoparticle Reinforced hybrid epoxy composites

Abstract

In the vehicles and aerodynamics applications, polymer and polymer composites are become noteworthy due to these characterizations such as thermal, mechanical, and wear. The polymer composite attributes can be customized, and the various strengthen forces in the structure of particulates (micro and nano shape) and fibers (long, short, and woven shape) are used. The widely consumed thermoset polymer matrix is epoxy resin with igher spatial consistency, superior mechanical features, chemical resistance, and longevity. Due to the unique strength, low density, low cost, and lightweight, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC) have been utilized in the current duration (Layth Mohammed et al. 2015). Natural fiber composites are increasingly interested in automotive, structure, packaging, and furniture applications. Jute fibers are found abundantly in sultry countries and are one of the durable, low-cost bast fibers. In the current research, the jute woven fabric is used as reinforced epoxy composites analyzed with fruit powder (Pineapple Peel, atermelon Peel) as a nano form, i.e., filler content and study of mechanical characterization of jute and their combination of the composites. The additional reinforcement to produce hybrid composite laminate fabric woven ith carbon is used. The composites under assessment were manufactured using a combined hand layup with compression molding. The effect of the filler concentration on tensile, hardness, flexural, impact resistance, water absorption, and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) is studied according to ASTM standards. Depending on these mechanical tests, for more thermal studies such as DSC, DTA, and FTIR to conduct automotive applications, the best performance composite is considered newline
