Evaluation of tensile strength of novel flax fiber vinyl ester composite laminate with and without the reinforcement of teakwood dust

The goal of this study is to compare the tensile strength of novel teakwood dust with a unique flax fibre composite. Group 1 was the control group in this study, while Group 2 was the experimental group, which included flax fibre composite and teakwood with flax fibre composite. Each group had a sample size of 20, for a total sample size of 40. G power was kept at 80% for estimating sample size. Tensile strength of the 10(Wt.%) novel teakwood dust with flax fibre composite was 39.1287 MPa, and the flax fibre composite's tensile strength was 20.0280 MPa, as per the experimental results. A statistically significant difference (p = 0.005; p < 0.05) has been observed in the flax fibre composite. The two groups' differences are statistically significant. The 10(Wt.%) teakwood dust with flax fibre composite has a higher tensile strength than the flax fibre composite, according to the experiment's findings. The results show that the composite with flax fibre and teakwood dust reinforcement has a greater tensile strength and is more sustainable than flax fibre composites.
