Abstract

Natural fibers and reinforcing elements are gaining attention from academicians and researchers to be utilized as the reinforcements in composites because of their environment friendly nature and sustainability. The aim of this study is to characterize and analyze the influence of eggshell particles on the mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of jute/cotton fiber reinforced epoxy composites. Composites were analyzed using UTM, SEM, XRD, UV, FTIR, and surface topology (2D and 3D). These experimental results show that addition of more eggshell particles increases the tensile strength but reduces the bending strength. Good thermal stability (300 °C) is obtained for the Jute/cotton/jute/cotton (JCJC) eggshell composites. SEM images confirmed the reinforcement of fibers in resins. FTIR data shows the presence of different active bands in JCJC eggshell composites. EDS analysis reveals the percentage of different compounds present in the composites. Absorption peaks are visualized by UV analysis in composites. The jute/cotton fiber reinforced epoxy composite without eggshell particles are also investigated for better understanding when eggshell particles are available. The findings experimentally prove that the produced composite can be used as an alternative to traditional materials. Beside this, the results of this study would be a noteworthy contribution for designing high performance bio-based composites over synthetic materials in numerous applications such as household products, vessels, and even in the aerospace industry.
