Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the tensile behavior of sea shell-jute fabric reinforced composites. The composites were prepared by using sea shell powder as filler material in jute fabric reinforced with epoxy composite. The tensile behaviors of this composite were studied by varying the sea shell filler percentage. The experimental investigation has revealed that, 5% sea shell filler in jute fabric reinforced composite give maximum tensile strength of 8400N with less deformation. The results were supported with SEM analysis. The present study of an interesting filler material (sea shell) on jute fabric reinforced composite.
