Abstract:In this research epoxy-based biocomposites were developed using novel green pea pod lignin and hybridized pod sheath fibre-bamboo epoxy composite for human prosthetic applications. The outcomes of this investigation demonstrates that the inclusion of lignin, up to 1.0 vol. % yields a tensile strength of 159 MPa, flexural strength of 202 MPa, interlaminar shear strength of 28.6 Mpa, and Izod impact toughness of 5.93 J. In terms of wear resistance, the composite designation with 2.0 vol. % of lignin exhibited lo… Show more
