【 摘 要 】

Coconut shell powder reinforced epoxy matrix composite is made of coconut shell powder, epoxy resin, and hardener. The tensile and compression tests of composites conducted at three different volume fractions of coconut shell particulates. The experimental results reveal that tensile strength of the composites increased with the decrease of the coconut shell particulate content, whereas compressive strength increases with the increase of the coconut shell powder.
