In the
present study composites were prepared by Hand lay-up molding.
The composites constituents were epoxy
resin as the matrix, 6% volume fractions of Glass
Fibers (G.F) as reinforcement and 3%, 6% of nature
material (Rice Husk Ash, Carrot
Powder, and Sawdust) as filler. Density, water absorption,
hardness test, flexural strength,
shear stress measurements and tests were conducted to reveal
their values for each type of
composite. True density results had shown an incremental
increase with volume fraction
increasing and water absorption, hardness, flexural strength and
shear stress results had shown an
incremental increase with volume
fraction increasing with smaller
particle size. |
