Investigation On The Mechanical Properties Of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (Gfrp) Hybrid Composite With Eggshell Powder

This research explores the utilization of chicken eggshell powder, ESP as a bio-filler material in E-glass fiber reinforced epoxy. Eggshell is the domestic and industrial by-product which usually being disposed as agriculture waste. Such filler usually has low density, highly abundant, inexpensive a...
