Abstract
Epoxy is a thermosetting resin used to produce composite materials. Epoxy resins are widely used in composites parts, structures and concrete repairs. Major benefits of using epoxy based materials have the ability to suit to prepare different products, their low shrinkage, strong mechanical properties, resistance to corrosive liquids and environments, superior electrical properties, good performance at elevated temperatures, and good adhesion to substrates. In this paper, epoxy fiber based composite material is prepared and study their mechanical properties such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, strength on this composite material with an addition of bio waste able material such as egg shell and wood apple shell in semi solid form by pultrusion process. Adding biodegradable shell particulates to an epoxy resin matrix yields superior thermal stability and mechanical properties while lowering fabrication cost and results are discussed
