The creep and dynamic mechanical behavior of natural fiber/epoxy composites using functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified matrix were investigated. 0.4 wt% of MWCNTs functionalized with carboxylic acid groups (MWCNTs-COOH) were dispersed in epoxy and three-phase multiscale hybrid composites were processed by hot press. Natural fiber/epoxy two-phase composites without MWCNT...

This study investigates the efficiency of recovered brown alumina (RBA) particles filled in epoxy glass-fiber composites. The RBA were obtained from grinding wheel rejects with help mechanical crushing process. Recovered finer than 120 grit used as particulate filler for composite preparation. Composites processed through a hand-layup technique by varying loading percentages (0, 5, 10, 15, and ...
