Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, various types of additive particles have been used with bio composites to enhance their performance. The sisal composites were developed by hand lay-up technique using a constant fibres length (10 mm) and constant fibres loading (30 wt.%). Charcoal particles were homogeneously mixed into epoxy resin using magnetic stirrer at 1000 rpm with varying weight percentages (2, 4, 6, and 8). In the present communication, effect of charcoal particles incorporation on the mechanical and water absorption behaviour of sisal composites has been studied. The results displayed that mechanical and water resistant performance was significantly improved due to charcoal particles loading up to 4 wt.% and then decreased.
