Natural fillers due to their low density, light weight, abundant availability, easy processability and biodegradability have emerged as promising reinforcement in the polymer matrix. The present study explores the use of finely powdered waste Rubber seed shell (RSS) and Walnut shell (WNS) as reinforcements in the epoxy matrix Lapox B11 to develop composite material using stir casting process. The composition of filler is varied by 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.%. The developed composites are characterized for investigating the mechanical, physico-chemical and thermal properties. An improvement in the tensile, compression, hardness and water absorption properties is observed for RSS reinforced composite compared to WNS composite. But the flexural and thermal properties are found to be better for WNS reinforced composite. Both the composites with superior properties are further compared with the properties of some prominent timbers listed in standard IS 883 1994 structural timber codes based on their availability in north-eastern (NE) region of India. The properties of both composites are found to be significantly better than the properties of the listed timber specimens. An increase in tensile strength by 123% and 72% for RSS and WNS composite is observed as compared to Sundari wood specimen. There is also an increase in compressive strength by 792% and 722% for RSS and WNS composite as compared to Sundari wood specimen. The study explores the potential of walnut shell and rubber seed shell composite as a probable replacement against conventional wooden products.

Micro‐sized luffa cylindrica fibers (MLCFs) are made from raw luffa natural fibers from Vietnam and are environmentally friendly while possessing good mechanical strength. This work focuses on the mechanical properties of composite based on epoxy epikote 828 reinforced with MLCFs, particularly the fracture toughness. The results show that the MLCFs content has a great influence on the fracture toughness, especially the critical‐stress intensity factor (KIC) and izod impact strength of composite. Specifically, when using MLCFs reinforced from 0 to 2.0 wt.%, the critical‐stress intensity (KIC) increased from 1.89 to 4.60 MPa.m1/2, while the izod impact strength increased from 3.6 to 7 KJ/m2, respectively. The thermal behavior of the composite reinforced with MLCFs at different contents was determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface fracture structure of the composite samples was determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method.
