Abstract
In recent years, bio-fibers have become increasingly popular as reinforcements for thermoplastics and thermosets. Research into the use of natural fibers such flax, bamboo, sisal, hemp, and jute as reinforcing elements in the production of various composites has been considerable. Groundnut shell particles and refractory alumina powder were combined with high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer matrix to create new bio-based composites in this study. The results were promising. Composite boards were synthesized by with HDPE with randomly distributed nano alumina and groundnut shell particles with volume percentages of 95:0:5, 95:2.5:2.5 and 95:5:0. ASTM standards were used to evaluate the compressive, shore hardness and water intake characteristics of the composites. The highest compressive load, compressive strength, increase in area, maximum displacement, displacement at break and compressive strain were analyzed for the specimen having HDPE, nano alumina and groundnut shell particles proportion 95:2.5:2.5. Using HDPE, nano alumina, and groundnut shell particles, Possibly a composite might be produced that could replace wood in many settings.
