Investigation of Mechanical, Thermal Conductivity, and Wettability Properties of Castor Oil–Toughened Epoxy Composites Reinforced With Bagasse, Halfa Grass, and Coir Natural Fiber Particles
This research examines the creation of sustainable castor oil–enhanced epoxy composites reinforced with three distinct natural fiber particles. Bagasse, coir, and halfa grass fibers were processed into particles and subjected to treatment with 5 wt% NaOH to enhance interfacial adhesion. Thirteen composite specimens...
