reinforcement, epoxy resin: rice husk, kenaf fibre, glass fibreAbstract
In this research, agriculture residues as reinforcement and filler were utilized for an epoxy-based matrix material. Glass fibre was incorporated in this composite throughout the production process in addition to the kenaf fibre. Rice husk ash filler in the matrix was maintained at 10 wt %, while the kenaf/glass hybrid fibre varied from 0 to 40%. Compression moulding was used to create the hybrid to study its mechanical attributes, which includes tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. The results showed that due to the wettability of the given hybrid matrix, it exhibits superior mechanical characteristics. For 30% hybrid fibre and 10% filler material, the mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength were raised by 41.26%, 14.42%, and 63.15%, respectively.
