Effect of bagasse ash filled epoxy composites reinforced with hybrid plant fibres for mechanical and thermal properties

Bagasse ash (BGA) filled bio-composite were developed with the reinforced hybrid natural fibres sisal, flax, banana and kenaf to improve mechanical and thermal properties. The vacuum bag assisted resin transfer method is used to develop hybrid natural fibres reinforced epoxy composites in combination of banana/flax (HBF), banana/kenaf (HBK), sisal/flax (HSF), and sisal/kenaf (HSK). A ball milled BGA of size 350 nm with a combination of 1, 3 and...
