Abstract

This paper explores the potential of tamarind shell particles as a filler in epoxy composites. The tamarind shell particles reinforced epoxy composites plates were prepared by varying both tamarind shell particle and epoxy volume percentage. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, deflection, impact, hardness and specific gravity are evaluated for different composition of composite plates.
