Abstract

The importance of Si2N2O nanoparticle and tamarind fiber integration into a liquid diglycidyl-ether of bisphenol-A (LY556) based epoxy resin composite was investigated in this research. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical, dielectrical and thermal properties of Si2N2O nanoparticle dispersed tamarind fiber-reinforced epoxy composite. The bio-composite laminates were prepared using hand lay-up method and examined in accordance with ASTM standards. The incorporation of Si2N2O nanoparticles enhances the tensile strength, flexural strength, and Izod impact strength, which seem to be 132 MPa, 172 MPa, and 5.74 J for composite designation 'N3', respectively. However, the 'N4' composite has the maximum hardness value of up to 92 Shore-D. In comparison to all other composite designations, ‘N4’ exhibits the highest dielectric loss and constant values of 0.94 and 6.2, respectively, as well as the highest reported Tg values of 550 °C. These mechanically strong, dielectrically and thermally stable composites could be utilised in a variety of industrial sectors, automotive parts, sports, and household applications.
