Study of mechanical properties of in-situ developed epoxy/bagasse/carbonized eggshell composite by hand lay up method.

Due to their exceptional mechanical qualities, bagasse and carbonized eggshell have drawn a lot of interest from scientists, positioning them as competitive substitutes and complementary elements in a range of metal and composite applications. Prior research has brought attention to issues with weak bonding that are caused by hydroxyl group components found in eggshell and bagasse. In order to tackle this, we investigate the use of reduced functional group density graphene as a filler, which has better bonding characteristics than graphene oxide while also having a lower amount required. In this study, different percentages of dispersed bces(0,2,4,and 6 wt%) are used in the typical hand lay-up procedure to generate composite materials made of bagasse and carbonized eggshell. The results show that the tensile and flexural characteristics have significantly improved when compared totidy epoxy resin, demonstrating this composite's promise for cutting-edge material research and engineering applications [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
