Synergistic Influence of Banana Pseudo Stem Fibre and Synthetic Fibre on Mechanical, Thermal Stability and Tribological Properties of Epoxy-Based Composites
Abstract:The use of Synthetic Fibres (SF) as reinforcement for development of Epoxy-based Composites (EC) is well reported. Aside the fact that SF reinforced EC suffer failure under low stress, SF are harmful and sparse, thus limiting local synthesis of the composite for fabrication of structural components. The foregoing necessitates the search for sustainable agro-based alternatives such as Banana Pseudo Stem Fibre (BPSF). Therefore, attempt was made to study the use of BPSF as partial or wholly alternative to SF in … Show more
