Abstract:This study investigates the mechanical properties of epoxy based composite material reinforced with natural filler of animal bone powder. The polymer composites were prepared using compression molding process. The plates of 6 mm thickness were prepared with varying amount of reinforcement from 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight at varying compression loads at constant cure time. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strength, water absorption of composites were evaluated as per ASTM st… Show more
