Effect of fish scale-derived biofiller loading on the mechanical, microstructural and moisture-resistance behavior of snake plant fiber/epoxy composites
Barshan Dev, Md Ashikur Rahman, Apurbo Das, Md Azmol Hossain Emon, Sakib Iqbal Akand, Abhi Karmakar, Md Zillur RahmanFish-scale biofiller reduced 120 h water uptake by 36% and increased hardness at 10 wt% loading, but excess filler lowered tensile and impact properties. An optimum 5–10 wt% loading balanced mechanical performance and moisture resistance.
