Abstract

This study presents the Assessment of the structural, compositional, and performance characteristics of the obtained fiber from Bauhinia Racemosa (BR). Epoxy composites reinforced with Bauhinia Racemosa fiber (BRF) Were produced through the use of the compression molding process. Chemical analysis revealed that BRF contains a high percentage of cellulose, while exhibiting relatively low amounts of lignin, ash, and wax. Mechanical performance was assessed through tensile, flexural, and impact strength tests. Examination of the fracture surfaces using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed that fiber pull-out was one of the main modes of failure, matrix cracking, and fiber breakage. Keywords: Bauhinia Racemosa fiber, Chemical composition, Mechanical properties, Scanning Electron Microscope, Eco-Friendly materials.
