Effect of Immersion Media for Polyester Composite Reinforced with Chicken Feathers on Creep Behavior

The use of composite materials has expanded in industrial applications around the world, reinforcing composites with waste like (chicken feather) is one effective ways to solve environmental concerns compared traditional methods, as it considered renewable and inexpensive methods addition its presence abundance. main added features over classic are light-weight. This paper investigates effect immersion media for a polyester reinforced chicken feather fillers enhance creep characteristic. was manufactured using hand-layup process. samples were produced by varying weight ratios fiber loading (0 %, 0.2 0.4 0.6 % 0.8 %) immersed three different (KCl (salt media), NaOH (alkali media) HNO3 (acid media)). tested according ASTM standards. results show that feather–reinforced various have probable because their superior mechanical properties non-reinforced composites.
