Investigation of Mechanical Properties in Polyester and Phenyl- ester Composites Reinforced With Chicken Feather Fiber

The purpose of the study is to utilize the chicken feather and finding the mechanical properties of the chicken feather reinforcing with polyester and phenyl ester. The bi-directional CFF reinforced composites were produced with phenyl ester and polyester resins with fiber reinforced composites, the chicken feather fibers (CFF) were cleaned, tested to know the mechanical properties and tensile behavior. It is found that the compressive properties of the CFF reinforced composites are significantly better than the control composites, however, the tensile and the flexural properties are determine by tensile, compressive, and flexural test. The CFF reinforced composite have potential applications due to its improved behavior and structural applications. The poultry waste can be utilized and used in any engineering applications, and it will be preferred due to lowcost and superior characteristics and the most importantly it will not cause ecological and health problems.
