Abstract: ABSTRACT This study conducted an investigation to determine the effect of fibre weight (w%) content and the fibre particle size on the mechanical properties of composite laminated produced polymer resin material reinforced with rice husk fibres. Rice husk were obtained from rice mill in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. The rice husk was grinded and sieved to obtain different grades of particles sizes ranging from finest (900m), finer (1000m), fine (2300m) and coarsest with aspect 3.11. Composite laminates with different particles sizes were fabricated using locally assembled wooden mould and with different fibre content of 30, 40 and 50 weight percents (wt%). The fabricated laminates were then subjected to mechanical testing using Instron Mechanical Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 5mm/min to determine their mechanical properties. Mechanical properties sought included modulus of elasticity, tensile modulus and tensile strength. From the results, it was found that, within the limit of experimental errors, there is a general trend in the mechanical behaviour of the laminates that shows that the laminate with the lowest fibre content (30 wt%) exhibited maximum mechanical properties compared with the other samples containing the 40 wt% and 50 wt% fibre contents respectively. Beyond the 30 wt% fibre content, the mechanical properties of the composites start to slope downward towards lower values. On the fibre particle size, the results reveal that as the particle size increases the mechanical properties of the composites start to decrease downward to lower values. It can, therefore, be concluded that both the fibre particle size and the fibre weight (wt%) content fabrication factors can play a significant influence in optimization of the mechanical performance of composite laminates that are fabricated from rice husk fibre reinforced polyester resin matrix.
Keywords: Keyword: Rice husk fibres, finest size, finer size, fine and coarsest.
