Hybridization Effect on Thermo-mechanical Behaviour of Epoxy/breadfruit Seed Shell Ash Particles and Momordica Angustisepala Fiber Composites for High-temperature Devices Application
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
Polymer general has a limitation in the area of high temperature which restricts, it used in devices application. To overcome this shortcoming that leads to the development of Epoxy/Breadfruit seed shell ash particles and Momordica Angustisepala fiber composites. Two sets of composites were produced epoxy/30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp and epoxy/30wt% functionalized MAf-20wt%BFSAp. The dynamic mechanical and thermal properties, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer were determined. A 42.30% improvement in the storage modulus of the matrix was obtained at epoxy/OH-APS treated 30wt%MAf-20wt%BFSAp hybrid composite. It established that combined effect of functionalized MAf and BFSAp can be used to improve the thermal behavior and dynamic mechanical of Epoxy- MAf-BFSAp hybrid composites which can be used for device production.
