Abstract

In the present investigation, the polymer based bio-composite laminates reinforced with jute, palm fiber mats, and sea shell powder are prepared and tested for mechanical characterization. The Hand-lay-up and press molding methods are used to fabricate polymer composite laminates. An epoxy (LY556) and hardener (araldite) (HY951) are combined in accordance with ASTM standards. Epoxy and hardener have a 10:1 ratio before being utilized to make laminates; the material will be thoroughly mixed for some time. After that Jute fiber, palm fiber, and sea shell powder were used to create different sample compositions. The mechanical properties of the laminate were investigated using tests for impact strength and hardness. The mechanical characteristics of palm and jute fibers are increased, accordingly by adding sea shell powder
