Abstract

There are plentiful agricultural waste disposal resources available worldwide from diverse sectors and household consumption resources. Further enormous horticultural waste materials and home food squander materials, for example, coconut shells, groundnut shells, tamarind shells, neem shells, almond shells, etc. The current study intends to investigate the combination of groundnut shell particles (Arachis hypogaea L.) and rice husk (Oryza sativa)/MWCNT partially filled epoxy hybrid polymer composites. Two different variants of the material percentages have been prepared: 75E+25GR and 80E+20GRM (E-Epoxy, G-Groundnut shell, R-Rice Husk, and M-MWCNT). The functional component of the groundnut shell, which is chemically composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is commonly prosperous and may be suitable in a variety of green engineering applications. Compression strength is particularly important for determining the elongation and maximum deformation of the composite. By using the Durometer, a maximum hardness shore-D value of 76 and maximum tensile strength 2.2 Mpa was demonstrated on the specimen 80E+20GRM. The maximum flexural strength of sample 75E+25GR is 6.2 MPa, the compressive strength is 555 MPa, and the tensile strength is 2.0 MPa, which is almost nearer to the 80E+20GRM.
