Abstract

Being biodegradable and user-friendly, the distinctive composite formed of natural fibres has amazing potential for weight reduction in materials while also lowering the cost of materials due to its low cost. However, it has a disadvantage in that it has a lower strength than epoxy resin 100 percent, which is a disadvantage. Many research investigations have been conducted on two-hybrid composites that include natural and synthetic fibres, but only a few studies have been conducted to compare the mechanical properties of natural and synthetic fibres in the same composite. Namely, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical properties on the mixing of natural and epoxy resins, specifically charcoal coconut shell powder and epoxy resin in eco-friendly materials. To fabricate the recycle waste of charcoal coconut shell composite test samples with three different ratios, the hand mixed approach was used in conjunction with the tensile, impact, and flexural tests to determine the mechanical properties of the samples. The collected data were analysed using statistical analysis. Numerical and graphical results was presented to observe the mechanical properties of Charcoal Coconut Shell Powder (CCSP). All combination of CCSP composite with epoxy resin will be effected in different ratio.
