Abstract

The entire world is poignant towards the eco-friendly manufacturing stratagem; especially most of the plastic components were slowly replaced by the natural composites. In the automobile sector, some of the popular car manufacturers were concentrated to replace interior plastic materials with natural fiber-based composite materials. A novel development of bio-composite materials augments to reduce global warming and ecofriendly environment. In this research work, the agricultural waste of tamarind seeds powder is used as a bio-composite material, which is blended with Epoxy LY556 in various weight percentages and fabricated. The tamarind seeds powder varies from 5 to 30% with Epoxy resin, Methyl Ethyl Kethone Peroxide is used as an accelerator, and Cobalt is used as a Catalyst. The bio-composite plates were fabricated by the Compression moulding techniques. The mechanical properties of composite materials were studied in the enhancement of Epoxy resin's impact in the weight percentage range.
