Mechanical properties

This research work is related to the manufacturing of a composite fiberboard using dry lemon peel powder and epoxy resin, which can be used as an alternate to the plywood or wood. The objective of this study is to assess the mechanical and microstructural properties of this novel composite fiberboard. To assess its strength and ability to absorb energy, different tests were performed on different specimens. To comprehend the morphology and filler particle distribution within the resin, the microstructure of the fabricated composite was also checked using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As per the experimental findings, the composite’s mechanical properties, such as hardness 22.45 (Vickers), tensile strength 14.7 MPa, flexural strength 27.9 MPa and impact strength 21.76 J/m2, appeared promising with respect to the plywood. Additionally, perfect bonding was shown by the SEM study between the waste Dry Lemon Peel particles (DLPP) and the epoxy, contributing to improved mechanical properties.
