Abstract
AbstractThe present work's target is to study the impact of fly ash or TiC nanoparticles or both on the characteristics of coir fiber epoxy hybrid composites. Mechanical characteristics like tensile, flexural, inter‐laminar shear strength, impact strength, shore D hardness, and thermal stability or degradation characteristics were determined. The microstructure of the samples was observed from a scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the addition of coir fiber, fly ash, and TiC nanoparticles in the epoxy polymer enhanced the mechanical and thermal characteristics of composites. It can be assigned to the better interaction and uniform distribution between the fillers and the epoxy polymer. Fillers acted a critical role in enhancing the characteristics of epoxy hybrid composites. Additionally, water absorption characteristics were also investigated for all specimens. A comparative examination was performed between various fabricated composite specimens. Results exhibited that, the water absorption of the composites improves considerably with the addition of reinforcements. Also, thermogravimetric analysis exhibited that the fabricated epoxy hybrid composites were stable thermally.
