Abstract
The effect of nonwoven Abutilon Indicum fiber content (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 wt%) on the structure (FTIR, SEM) and selected mechanical and thermal (TGA) properties of epoxy resin was investigated. The best mechanical properties were obtained with a fiber content of 35 wt%. The tensile strength of the composite was about 40 MPa, the flexural strength over 60 MPa, and the compressive strength about 48 MPa. Moreover, the composite showed the fracture energy about 0.44 J.
