摘要

In past few decades the trends in using natural fiber reinforced composites in transportation vehicle components is increased due to less weight than metallic materials, low fuel consumption thereby low environmental pollution and fewer parts in assembly that increases the production volume. The temperature and dynamic force on the components of vehicles has significantly affects its functionality in terms of wear, change in material molecular structure and life. So, the study on energy lost and absorbed under varying temperature and load is important one for the researcher those using their material in transportation sector. The current study examines the effect of adding human hair (HH) nano fiber and sterculia bark (SB) nano powder with the epoxy polymer at different volume fractions on various mechanical strength properties and dynamic mechanical characteristics. Fabricating the composite laminate with four different volume fractions such as 10, 15, 20 & 25 % human hair and 5 % SB powder filler through environmentally friendly hand layup technique. It emphasizes intermolecular structural research to assess how filler additions affect internal relationships at the composites’ interface. The impact of using powdered sterculia foetida bark as a filler on the viscosity of epoxy polymer composites reinforced with human hair was investigated. Based on the results, it was determined that the filler has a significant one because it inhibits the polymer’s molecular mobility through epoxy and well-built human hair. The human hair with 25 % fiber volume obtained the higher mechanical properties than the lower fiber volume. Adding the SB filler increases the wettability and adhesion between the hydrophobic human hair and epoxy polymer which enhanced to strength the composites. Additionally, the microstructure validates that human hair and filler work well together with epoxy resin.
