Abstract

Natural fibre composites (NFC) is made of natural resources possesses environmentally beneficial attributes such as environment friendly and biodegradability. The mechanical attributes of coir fibre, rice husk and boiled egg shell are reinforced polyester hybrid composites were examined first time. The composites were fabricated with various weight percentages of coir fibre, rice husk and egg shell reinforced polyester resin through hand lay-up method. The mechanical tests results showed that the 40% coir fibre + 48% Epoxy resin + 12% (Egg shell powder and Rice husk) filler enhanced the overall tensile, flexural and impact strength of the composites compared with unreinforced sample. This type of composites can be useful for automobile and civil engineering domains.
