Development of Fly Ash Based New Bio-Composites Material as Wood Substitute

Fly ash is produce from the thermal power plant from the coal combustion as a problematic solid waste all over the world. India has some of the largest reserves of coal in world. The fly ash is collected from the renusagar power plant in Anpara U.P. India and Human Hair is collected from the local shop of shailoon. The composite plates are developed by using CY-230 resin. Human hair must have high strength. The specimen preparation and testing was carried out as per ASTM standards and mechanical properties like tensile, compressive and flexural stress of bio composite were evaluated. The experiments are carried out with the aid of Design Experts (Design of Experiment) software. The developed composites specimens are tested for tensile, flexural strength sand the result are validated with Anova-One way approach. Finally the properties of developed composite are compared with the corresponding properties of wood and conventional wood substitute.
