Abstract
The development of roofing sheets using sustainable materials to reduce the health hazard pose by asbestos, corrosion of galvanized zinc, and cost of long span aluminum has been giving attention. In this work, density, tensile properties, corrosion resistance and stress analysis of Momordica angustisepala fiber (MAf) and rice husk ash nanoparticle/epoxy composite was used as criteria to determine the suitability of the new material as a roofing sheet application. Roofing sheets of lower weight can be produced with this developed material. The yield strength and tensile strength of 73.45 and 75.12 MPa are within the strength recommended for galvanized zinc and long span aluminum. The new material can be used in the production of roofing sheets with better corrosion resistance than galvanized zinc and long span aluminum. It was established that light weight roofing sheets with better corrosion resistance can be made with this composite.
