Influence of Particle Size and Surface Treatment on Mechanical Properties of Bambara Nut Shell and Cowpea Husk-Polyester Composites

Mustapha, A.^*, Ishiaku S. U., Danladi A, Ibrahim H.D

Bambara nut (Vigna subterranea) is a grain legume native to sub-Saharan Africa, with its shell remaining an underutilised agricultural waste. Similarly, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), a widely cultivated legume crop in Africa, has husks with untapped potential for composite applications. Despite their availability, using Bambara nutshell and c...

Effect of Coupling Agent on the Mechanical Properties of High-Density Polyethylene-Filled Calabash Particles Composites

Musa A B^*, BabaAli J, Danladi A, Lawal A S, Mamza P A P

ABSTRACT In the interest of sustainable development and production of eco-friendly bio-composites, the use of natural fillers with synthetic resins in the production of composites has been the new trend in composite manufacture. In this study, calabash particles (CP) were used as filler in high density polyethylene (HDPE) to produce bio-composites....

Effect of Filler Particle Size on the Mechanical Properties of Waste Polypropylene/ Date Seed Particulate Composites

Lawal N^*, Danladi A, Dauda B M, Kogo A. A.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of filler particle size on mechanical properties of waste polypropylene (wPP) / date seed particles (DSP) composites. Filler particle size of 63, 125, 250, 500 and 750 µm were used at 20 % filler loading. The composites obtained were subjected to mechanical tests (tensile and flexural test, impact t...
