Optimization of mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid nano composites by response surface methodology

Abstract At present, materials obtained from nature are adopted with high priority due to exploitation of natural resources ofthe materials. This work is focused on the use fibre nano-silica as reinforcement in epoxy resin a matrix. The polymer composites were developed by mixing an appropriate amount nano SiO 2 bamboo fibres. After composite fabrication, specimens standard size prepared, and tests related mechanical properties performed. 32H compositesperformed best tensile test. flexural test value for 32G was highest. We found that had better energy absorption capacity. Response surface methodology (RSM) used find optimum composition composites, effects nano-SiO their investigated. A central design employed analyse properties. second order polynomial model predicting strength composites. It has been fit quadratic regression excessive co-efficient determine R value. Effects examined using analysis variance (ANOVA).Experiment two-layer wt.% silica quality. Nano fabricated reinforced numerous uses automotive, aircraft, aerospace, sporting, structural, home appliance industries.
