Abstract

Natural fillers have received great attention among researchers due their its light weight, high strength, degradability, and eco-friendly behavior. This work is focused on developing a laminate of date palm seed powder and neem gum powder reinforced epoxy resin. Epoxy resin is an excellent thermoset polymer with anoutstanding cost to performance ratio. Date palm seeds have highly competitive properties in improving the mechanical and thermal properties of composites by their good adherence to polymer matrix. Neem gum powder is used as a binder in increasing ratios of 0 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %, and 30 % to test their strength in different compositions. Date seed powder has been reinforced in decreasing weight percent as 30 %, 25 %, 20 %, 15 %, 10 %, 5 %, and 0 %. The specimens prepared through the compression moulding technique were subjected to various mechanical tests like a tensile test, flexural test, and impact test as per the ASTM standards. Fractography analysis using FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy) and FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) test have determined the surface characteristics and chemical composition of the samples. The result shows that, by adding neem gum powder in increasing quantities the mechanical properties like tensile and flexural decreases. However, it does not affect the impact strength of the material. A detailed study of their behavior is discussed in this work.

枣核和印楝粉增强天然纤维复合材料的实验研究

天然填料具有重量轻、强度高、可降解和环保等特点，因此受到了研究人员的极大关注。这项工作的重点是开发一种枣椰籽粉和印楝胶粉增强环氧树脂的层压板。环氧树脂是一种优良的热固性聚合物，具有出色的性价比。枣椰籽在改善复合材料的机械性能和热性能方面具有很强的竞争力，因为枣椰籽与聚合物基体具有良好的粘附性。楝树胶粉被用作粘合剂，比例依次为 0%、10%、15%、20%、25% 和 30%，以测试其在不同成分中的强度。枣籽粉以 30%、25%、20%、15%、10%、5% 和 0% 的递减重量百分比进行增强。根据 ASTM 标准，通过压缩成型技术制备的试样要接受各种机械测试，如拉伸测试、弯曲测试和冲击测试。使用 FESEM（场发射扫描电子显微镜）和 FT-IR（傅立叶变换红外光谱）测试进行的碎屑分析确定了样品的表面特征和化学成分。结果表明，随着楝树胶粉添加量的增加，拉伸和弯曲等机械性能下降。然而，这并不影响材料的冲击强度。本作品将讨论对其行为的详细研究。
