PROCESSING AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN HAIR FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents the mechanical properties of human hair strengthened epoxy composites. The effect of fiber stacking and length on mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and hardness of composites is inspected. Tests were conducted on polymer composites with various substance of human hair fiber i.e. 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and with moving length of human hair i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 cm. By testing of composites, it has been observed that there is critical impact of human hair reinforcement on the mechanical properties of composites. The detailed test outcomes and results are presented and conclusions are drawn.
