| description | This study conducts an extensive examination of the tensile properties of epoxy resin
composites strengthened with wood sawdust fiber. It emphasizes the potential of these
composites as a sustainable and cost-effective substitute in the automotive industry. Sawdust
particles with a mesh size of 100 and weights of 10%, 20%, and 30% are mixed with epoxy
resin in this experiment so that tensile stress and tensile modulus under load can be observed
in detail. The fabrication process involved the manual lay-up of tensile specimens. The results
indicate that the tensile properties of composites containing 20% sawdust are an unexpected
30% superior to those comprising 10% filler loading. In contrast, micrograph tensile fracture
examinations unveiled the presence of agglomeration and air bubble, factors that compromised
the accuracy of the findings. The results demonstrate the critical nature of optimizing the
sawdust content to attain the optimal equilibrium in the mechanical properties of composites.
It is recommended that future applications implement additional microstructural control
measures and refine the fabrication process to enhance precision and dependability |
