Abstract
A partially biodegradable composite material with cotton dust as reinforcement in epoxy resin matrix has been developed. Composite laminas are prepared with various percentages of untreated and alkali treated cotton dust fiber and their strength and elastic modulus in tension and flexure are determined. Influence of alkali treatment of fibers on mechanical properties of the composite is studied. It is concluded that alkali treatment of fibres has pronounced effect on tensile and flexure properties of the composite.
