摘要

Traditional composites are also pollutants attracting a change towards more environmental-friendly ones. Natural fibers such as banana have low cost, biodegradation and good mechanical properties, which are improved by the application of epoxy and alkali treatment. Particles and nanofillers Hybridization enhances strength and durability but uniform distribution is a challenge, to aid creation of sustainable, high performance green composite materials. This research proposes the mechanical, water-absorbent, and thermal properties of epoxy polymer composite reinforcement with Areca fibres and hydroxyapatite particles obtained after using the eggshells. A compressive molding technique is used in making the composites. The composites comprise of 15% areca fibers and 15% HA particles and the rest of the composition is composed of epoxy. Mechanical tests are undertaken such as tensile, flexural, compressive tests, chemical analysis and thermal stability. The findings shown that the proposed hybrid composite has a high level of mechanical performance than other fibers, including coir, flax, date palm, sisal, hemp, and jute, in terms of mechanical properties, water absorption behavior, and thermal properties.
