Abstract

Various experimental work on composites strengthened by natural resources have been carried out successfully in recent years. This research concentrates on the water absorptive conduct of enhanced coconut husk particle from treated and untreated jute faster with bio-composition compounds of the PLA matrix. Different weight percentages of strengthening and reinforcing materials were used in preparation of hybrid composite specimens, while the PA (Polylactic acid matrix) was maintained constant. It adopted conventional hand lay-up technique and effectively manufactured boards of the hybrid composites using the same technical method. The portable wood-cutter was developed to efficacy of test results for hybrid bio-composite specimens for water absorption testing, using the ASTM standards. Tests for the bio-composite hybrid specimen water absorption according to the ASTM standards were performed. For the treatment and untreated jute fibre, the component water absorption filled with coconut husk particles was absorbed and compared with the specimens of the PLA matrix hybrids. Experimental findings show that the chemical fibrid of jute strengthened with small quantities of hybrid husk, filled composite particles has a better water uptake behaviour than that of jute fibre strengthened by high concentrations of hybrid, coconut-filled composite specimens. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
