Experimental Investigation of Pterocarpus Marsupium Resin/LY 556 Epoxy Blended Hybrid Polymer Material

In this work an attempt had been made to hybridise the Epoxy resin by incorporating Pterocarpus Marsupium natural powder derived from tree. The mechanical, dynamic biodegradability and thermal stability of blended polymer was evaluated at different particulate loading (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 35 v/v %). composite specimens were fabricated using hand layup method. mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength shown significant improvement than modulus due blending, experimental results indicated that better obtained 30% incorporated polymer. Soil burial test revealed incorporation bio resulted in weight loss over prolonged period time.
