“…In the present work also, tensile modulus increases with filler loading because of the high rigidity of both the fillers. Similar behavior for tensile modulus is obtained by Rajput et al [ 28 ] where they measured the tensile modulus of epoxy filled with Kota stone dust only.…”

Kota stone dust (KSD) and fly ash (FA) are the wastes generated from the construction industry and thermal power plant, respectively. In the present work, a novel hybrid composite is developed to utilize KSD and FA as reinforcing phases in the epoxy matrix. The hand lay-up method is adopted for the fabrication of 12 sets of samples. Four sets are prepared with single filler KSD and eight samples are prepared with a hybrid combination of KSD and FA. The prepared samples are undergone physical and mechanical tests. To understand the compatibility between filler-matrix and visualize the dispersion of fillers in epoxy, micrographs are taken using the scanning electron microscope. The density and void contents of the material increases with an increase in filler content. The maximum water absorption measured is 0.96% for the combination of epoxy with 40 wt% KSD and 10 wt% FA. From mechanical testing, maximum tensile strength and flexural strength obtained is 34.4 MPa and 65.4 MPa, respectively, for a combination of epoxy with 20 wt% KSD and 5 wt % FA. Compressive strength and hardness increase with either of the content of the filler and reaches 116.28 MPa and 104 Shore D number, respectively, with 40 wt% KSD and 10 wt% FA. From experimentation, it was found that mechanical properties of the hybrid composites are better as compared to that of single filler composites though physical properties are slightly compromised by hybridization of fillers.

“…Moreover, the particulate fillers generated as a water byproduct of various marble and stone industries can be used to replace many conventional particulate types of filler currently under practical use; simply because of the fact that this process is more ergonomically. As well as this practice can have a positive environmental effect and can be a solution to the waste problems related with stone and marble industries 27) . Various industries have already demonstrated the noteworthiness of particulate fillers in composite materials vastly due to the strong impact it depicts on material properties.…”

The properties of Composite Materials can be consequentially influenced by addition of particulate fillers, which can lead to tailor made specific uses of these composites. Composites materials are widely used materials in automobiles, aviation, defense as well as sport goods industries, due to their properties being at par with traditional engineering materials and sometimes superior as well. In this study, basalt fiber laminates were fabricated by addition of a particulate filler namely Marble Dust, by conventional hand lay-up method. Further, these composite laminates were analyzed for their mechanical (tensile, flexural, impact strength, hardness and density) and three body abrasive wear performance. The analysis indicated that strong impact on properties of composites after the addition of particulate fillers. Moreover, this study also focuses on use of waste Marble dust and stone dust such as Kota Stone Dust for use as particulate filler in composites.
