Description:

Rice husks (RH) of various species with different mass fraction (wt%) will be blended with polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) using an extruder to produce RH composite filaments. These filaments will subsequently be used to produce 3D printed test samples for fundamental mechanical testing to assess their final product quality in terms of mechanical properties.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

On completion of this project, various RH based PE or PP composites filaments will have to be produced for use in 3D printing. These composite filaments will then be used to produce test samples for understanding the mechanical behaviour of these composites and then assessment is to be carried out for the 3D printability of these composites based on their mechanical properties
