“…Being light-weight, they are the most suitable materials for weight sensitive applications, but their high cost becomes a limiting factor for commercial applications. However, it has been observed that by incorporating filler particles into the fiber reinforced composites the performance of composites can be improved [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Cement By-Pass Dust (CBPD) is a by-product of cement manufacturing.…”

In this study the mechanical and erosion wear behavior of bamboo fiber reinforce epoxy composites filled with Cement By-Pass Dust (CBPD) were studied. The effect of CBPD content and alkalization on the various properties of these composites was also investigated. Taguchi's orthogonal arrays are used for analysis of experiential results. It identifies significant control factors influencing the erosion wear and also outlines significant interaction effects. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test has also been performed on the measured data to find the most significant factors affecting erosion rate. Finally, eroded surfaces of both untreated and alkali treated bamboo fiber reinforced composites were characterized using SEM.

“…The inclusion of inorganic fillers into polymers for commercial applications is primarily aimed at the cost reduction and stiffness improvement [11,12]. Along with fiber-reinforced composites, the composites made with particulate fillers have been found to perform well in many real operational conditions.…”

“…Along with fiber-reinforced composites, the composites made with particulate fillers have been found to perform well in many real operational conditions. When silica particles are added into a polymer matrix to form a composite, they play an important role in improving electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of the composites [13,14]. Currently, particle size is being reduced rapidly and many studies have focused on how single-particle size affects mechanical properties [15][16][17].…”

“…This improves not only stiffness, toughness, hardness, heat distortion temperature, and mold shrinkage, but also reduces the processing cost significantly. In fact, more than 50% of all produced polymers are in no way or another filled with inorganic fillers to achieve the desired properties [4]. Mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites are depending on the properties of the constituent materials (type, quantity, fiber distribution and orientation, void content).…”

Abstract:In this work, glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated. Epoxy resin was used as polymer matrix material and glass fiber was used as reinforcing material. The main focus of this work was to fabricate this composite material by the cheapest and easiest way. For this, hand layup method was used to fabricate glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites and TiO 2 material was used as filler material. Six types of compositions were made with and without filler material keeping the glass fiber constant and changing the epoxy resin with respect to filler material addition. Mechanical properties such as tensile, impact, hardness, compression and flexural properties were investigated. Additionally, microscopic analysis was done. The experimental investigations show that without filler material the composites exhibit overall lower value in mechanical properties than with addition of filler material in the composites. The results also show that addition of filler material increases the mechanical properties but highest values were obtained for different filler material addition. From the obtained results, it was observed that composites filled by 15wt% of TiO 2 particulate exhibited maximum tensile strength, 20wt% of TiO 2 particulate exhibited maximum impact strength, 25wt% of TiO 2 particulate exhibited maximum hardness value, 25wt% of TiO 2 particulate exhibited maximum compressive strength, 20wt% of TiO 2 particulate exhibited maximum flexural strength.
