Description
Summary:The research for novel materials by the manufacturing industry is unavoidable in order to meet the expanding demands. Polymer composites have demonstrated improved weight-to-density ratios and manufacturing compatibility. As a result, it's reasonable for researchers to explore for different types of polymer-based composites. Epoxy-acacia and Epoxy-acacia-kneaf composites are made and tested for tensile and double shear properties in this work. According to the findings, acacia-Kneaf composite samples have a high tensile strength and can withstand forces of up to 3.71 KN. Additionally, acacia-Kneaf composite specimen displayed the greatest double shear strength of 3. 980KN. Epoxy-acacia-kneaf hybrid composites have better characteristics than epoxy-acacia composites and synthetic polymer composites. As a result, it is recommended as a good alternative polymer composite for industrial applications.
