| dc.description.abstract | In the current thesis work the experimental investigation for the thermo-mechanical characterization of the developed composite is done. Here the effect of Chicken feather fiber in Epoxy Resin is diagnosed with varying weight percentages (0 to 7 %). Later 5 wt% CFF in varying wt% of extracted residue powder form fish was used as a particulate to develop hybrid composite. The different wt% of ERP in 5 wt% CFF filled epoxy based hybrid composite was casted. Tests have been conducted on 100 kN servo-hydraulic universal testing machine under displacement mode of control, digital Rockwell hardness testing machine and impact testing machine were used for mechanical testing, TGA/DTA have been conducted for thermal properties. XRD was used for crystallography analysis. Mechanical test results indicate that the mechanical properties of the composite, including compression strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, flexural strength and hardness etc. are enhanced by the increment of the weight percentage of ERP. The rate of water absorption increases with the increase in weight percentage of ERP. Thickness swelling property is increased initially with time and it becomes almost constant for all wt% of ERP. On the basis of overall study of the epoxy resin as matrix, ERP as particulate and CFF as fiber, the 3 wt% ERP and 5 wt% CFF combination is found to be better than all other combinations. | en_US |
