Abstract
In this article, the impact and hardness properties of the epoxy resin matrix, banana fiber-reinforced, and Camellia Sinensis particles, filled bio-composites were established. Four composite specimens for Izod impact test and Rockwell hardness test were prepared as per the ASTM standards by keeping weight percentage of the matrix material as constant (65%) and varying the weight percentage of banana fiber (35, 33, 31, 29%)/Camellia Sinensis particles (0, 2, 4, 6%) respectively. Izod impact test and Rockwell hardness tests are performed on the four composites specimens as per ASTM standards. Experimental results reveal that by adding Camellia Sinensis particles with epoxy resin matrix/banana fiber composites enhances the hardness and diminishes the impact of energy and impact strength of the composites considerably.
