Synopsis

The demand of Polymer Matrix Composite in numerous industries are becoming popular day by day due to its significant enhancement in mechanical and physical properties over conventional materials. The aim of this study is to develop and analysis of the Polymer Matrix Composite. Polymer Matrix Composites are fabricated by combining epoxy resin (matrix) and bamboo dust (reinforcement) particles with each other. To prepare the composite, reinforcement and the matrix material are mixed together in three weight percentage (wt. %) i.e. 40-60%, 50-50% & 60-40% respectively. Moreover, to investigate material property composite samples has fabricated by using individual three different micro sized bamboo particles i.e. 60 microns, 110 microns and 220 microns. Water absorption capacity and swelling test has checked to determine the physical property of the fabricated samples.
