| dc.description.abstract | The mechanical properties of the fabricated composite of epoxy resin filled with dried fish scale powder and the hybrid composite reinforced with dried fish scale powder and chicken feather fibre have been comparatively evaluated in this study. The effects of dried fish scale powder in epoxy resin with varied weight % of chicken feather fibre (from 0 to 5) have been examined. Based on the findings, 8 wt% % dried fish scale powder in varied wt% of chicken feather fibre was utilized as a reinforcement to create hybrid composite. The various wt% of chicken feather fibre in 8 wt% dried fish scale powder filled epoxy based hybrid composite were casted. Mechanical characterization of the resulting composite was carried out using a universal testing machine (UTM) AMT-SC-01521), a digital Rockwell hardness testing machine, and an impact testing machine. Results of various Mechanical test shows that increasing wt% of chicken feather fibre with 8 wt% dried fish scale powder improved the mechanical properties of the hybrid composite, such as impact strength, young's modulus, percentage elongation, hardness, and ultimate tensile strength. On the basis of overall evaluation combination of 8 wt% dried fish scale powder and chicken feather fibre proved to be better than all other combinations of composite material prepared from the different level of dried fish scale powder as particulate and chicken feather fibre as reinforcement with epoxy resin as matrix. | en_US |
