Abstract
The hand layup-cum-compression moulding method was employed to create a novel polyester-based hybrid composite by reinforcing basalt/banana fibres with a sesame oil cake-derived cellulose (sesame cake cellulose, SCC) filler, and its mechanical, moisture absorption, thermal and analytical characteristics were investigated as a function of SCC weight percentage (0–10 wt.%). The polyester matrix fabrication method, volume fractions, and varying percentages of SCC filler were used to create five types of hybrid composites. The structure modification was investigated using analytical methods such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). From the information collected for this study, the supplement of SCC significantly enhanced the mechanical and thermal properties because it provided the greatest load transfer among the fillers, fibres, and polyester matrix components. The outcomes of thermal stability investigation revealed that the newly created polyester-based hybrid composites were more robust to temperature changes than the pure polymer sample. The extreme tensile, flexural, and impact properties of the composites with 5 wt.% SCC were 48.83.89 ± 3.073 MPa, 234.14 ± 9.3.6 MPa, and 70.93 ± 3.8 kJ/m2 respectively. The SEM study further showed that there was homogeneous distribution degree of matrix-reinforcement bonding.
