Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Characterization of Epoxy-E-Glass Fiber-Particulate Reinforced Hybrid Composites.

The present investigation focuses on the manufacturing and mechanical evaluation of epoxy-based composites reinforced with fiberglass with and without various particle fillers. The study explores the potential use of industrial wastes, such as coal powder (CP), coal fly ash (CFA), bagasse ash (BA), palm fruit ash (PFA), ash from rice husks (RHA), bone ash (BoA), marble/granite powder (MP), combinations of coal fly ash and coal powder (CFACP), blends of coal fly ash and marble powder (CFAMP), and combinations of coal fly ash and bone ash (CFABoA).The use of industrial factory wastes as a filler in polymer composite materials is becoming more and more common due to the improvement in structural characteristics compared to the pure epoxy-e-glass fiber composites.
