Mechanical properties and Experimental Analysis of Dry Flower Reinforced Composite

Reena Chopra

Abstract


After researching the use of natural filler in epoxy composites, the project title mechanical properties analysis of dry flower waste reinforced polymer composite was developed. Due to the establishment of methods for disposing of dry flower powder reinforced plastic, the focus of this study is on the potential for recycling of certain waste materials. Dry flower powder stands out among the various fillers because of the eco-friendly nature of its composites, its low cost, and its accessibility. The current focus of the project was primarily on the reinforcement of polymer plastics using dry flower filler powder composites in varying proportions. Destructive testing is used to examine the mechanical properties of these composites. Epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, and phenol, among other thermosetting resins, are examples. are currently prevalent in natural fiber composites. For this purpose, a matrix reinforced with dry flower powder was produced and mechanically characterized. Poor interfacial bonding between the filler and matrix may be the cause of an increase in tensile modulus but a decrease in flexural strength when filler is loaded.
