“…Through innovative applications, hybrid composites have been of intense interest to researchers from antiquity. It is against this background that this study intends to explore the development and characterization of biocomposites (palm kernel shells, periwinkle shells, whelk shells, clams and bamboo fiber reinforced Epoxy composite) for engineering applications (Safi et al, 2015) Lack of desired properties of conventional materials for materials technology relating polymer matrix composite manufacturing has called for the introduction of natural fiber as a fiber-reinforced material among researchers and industry players (Ikumapayi et al, 2018;Alias et al, 2018). In countries where agricultural activities are the mainstay of the economy, natural fiber as agricultural waste is abundant, creating environmental menace.…”

This study focused on the optimization of the flexural strength of bio-composite samples of palm kernel, whelks, clams, periwinkles shells and bamboo fiber, reinforced with resin for engineering applications. The aim of the study was to: formulate different samples of bio-composite reinforce with resin for engineering applications and to evaluate the flexural strength, of the fabricated composite. The hand lay-up technique was used for the composites produced by incorporating different percentage compositions of the shells/fiber (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) into varied proportions of epoxy resin and catalyst. The cured samples after 24hours were subjected to tensile, impact, flexural and water absorption test. The experiments were conducted using Taguchi optimization method L25 (5x5) with five design parameters and five level combinations in Minitab 18 statistical software. The results showed that the average values of flexural was 114.87MPa when compared to the unreinforced of 72.33MPa bio-composite. The study recommended that agricultural waste like palm kernel shells, whelk shells, clams, periwinkle shells and bamboo fiber, should be converted into important engineering applications.

The utilisation of waste materials in polymer matrices is gaining attraction due to the growing environmental awareness. In this work, eggshells waste was added into polyvinyl alcohol to produce biocomposite films via solution casting method. In order to enhance the properties of the biocomposite, glutaraldehyde (GA) was incorporated as the crosslinking agent. The effects of GA content on the biocomposite were evaluated in terms of its tensile properties, physical properties and biodegradability. From the tensile test, the optimum GA content was found to be 2 phr as portrayed by the highest tensile strength at this GA content. Further addition of GA deteriorated the mechanical properties of the biocomposite. On the other hand, the water absorption, water vapour transmissibility and biodegradability (via natural weathering and soil burial) of the biocomposite films decreased with GA addition.
