- Abstract
The use of composite materials dates from centuries ago, and it all started with natural fibres. Likewise this paper includes the use of mango seed peel particulates used as reinforcement to develop the composite. The inner part (kernel) of the mango seed peel particulates is used for home remedies and for medical treatments. But the mango seed peel particulate plays a major role for the material strength and hence it was decided to study its mechanical behaviour. The major points to look out in this is high strength to weight ratio, less weight, and the mango seed peel particulate is a no cost reinforcement material. In this paper, the mechanical properties of mango seed peel particulate particle-epoxy composite were developed with different fibre matrix ratios and are compared. The concept of hand lay-up process is used in preparing the material. It is tested by varying the fibre matrix ratios where the matrix is used in standard proportions. Then the prepared parts are compared against their mechanical properties. Hardness and tensile values obtained are compared for finding the better proportion.
