Abstract
This research studied the mechanical properties of particulates composite materials made from natural fillers (eggshell and sawdust) reinforced epoxy resin. The composite specimens were prepared by hand lay-up technique with one volume fraction Vf, and different particle size of fillers.
Modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, percentage of elongation and hardness were measured for each type of composite. The tensile tests results had shown an incremental increase with size of particles decreasing also hardness results had shown an incremental increase with smaller particle size.
This work institutes a good substitution for synthetics fillers avoiding their highly cost and their toxicity, at the same time reducing of the environmental pollution.
