Analysis of Epoxy Resin with Natural Materials

C. Rajaravi, S. Kishore, M. Easwar, B. Vasanthkanna

Abstract


In the research, we have discussed about the effect of epoxy resin with natural materials. Thereby, here we decided to develop the composite materials using natural materials like chicken feather, coconut sheath, banana pseudo stem, teakwood dust. Here the review based information is piled up to get the wide-ranging information about the mechanical properties of natural materials based composites. The natural composites have more advantage like light weight, wide availability, low price, renewability and mechanical properties. Composite specimens are prepared referring to ASTM standard by pouring the mixture of epoxy resin matrix with natural materials of particular size. Specimens so developed are tested in laboratory for various tests. The properties are thus noted and they are briefly noted in the report.
