Abstract

In this work, the effects of amino silane-grafted areca fibre and papaya slice biochar particle on the mechanical, thermal conductivity, and dielectric properties of epoxy resin biocomposite were shown. The goal of the study was to find out how the way fibres are treated affects their properties and how those properties affect the composite as a whole. The acid hydrolysis process is used to treat the raw chopped fibre and slice-dried particles with amino silane and then air-dry them in an oven. The oven-dried areca nut fibre and charcoal particles are then used with a hand-layup method to make composites that meet ASTM standards. According to the results, the tensile and flexural strengths got better by 64% and 50%, respectively, and the impact resistance got better by 93%. The use of reinforcing materials gradually improved the dielectric properties and the way heat moved through the material.
