| description | This work uses basalt fiber reinforced composites composed of chicken feather fibers and coconut coir. This work uses basalt fiber reinforced composites composed of chicken feather fibers and coconut coir to investigate the value-adding of poultry and agricultural waste. The study examined the effects of different natural fiber contents (5%, 10%, and 15%) on composite performance through mechanical and thermal evaluation. Significant alterations were observed in tensile strength, with 15% coconut coir fiber (CCF) surpassing the baseline composite in strength to 136.76 MPa. Significant increases were seen in flexural characteristics, especially when 15% of chicken feather fiber (CF) reached a strength of 339.25 MPa. With 15% CF, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) reached 13.72 MPa, suggesting improved interfacial bonding. At 28.90 kJ/m2, impact strength was maximized with 15% CCF, outperforming the performance of the original composite. Water absorption test demonstrated the hydrophilic character of coconut coir, with a maximum absorption of 17.01% at 60 days, in contrast to the minimal absorption of 9.98% for composites made of chicken feather fiber. The study shows how waste-derived fibers can be used to make ecologically friendly, high-performing composite materials with customized mechanical properties. |
