Effect of almond shell on glass fiber reinforced polymer composites.

Glass fiber and fillers are combined to create a hybrid composite with improved mechanical characteristics. The impact studies of glass fiber on the mechanical properties of an Almond shell powder-based composite will be explored in this research. Almond Shell Powder and reinforced vinyl ester will be prepared by hand lay up to achieve this goal. The effects of the hybrid composites tensile, hardness, flexural, and impact properties will be examined. The distribution of almond shell particles in composite was investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
