Experimental investigation on mechanical, thermal behaviour and characterisation analysis of aquatic waste water hyacinth plant fibre, powder and ash reinforced polymer composite material – Dangerous aquatic threat into successive product approach

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of aquatic wastewater hyacinth plant natural power, ash and fibre reinforced polymer composite samples. This work is primarily concerned with creating sustainable products from this aquatic waste in a sustainable manner. Hyacinth plant fibres, powders and ash particles are used in this work as reinforcement material for composite samples, which are made by utilising the hot press compression moulding technique and epoxy matrix. In this study, new mechanical way of fibre extraction process is used to extract the fibres of the water hyacinth. Mechanical strength and thermal properties thermo gravimetric analysis, differential thermo gravimetric, thermo gravimetric peaks of hyacinth composite samples are evaluated. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques are used to characterise the hyacinth composite. A scanning electron microscope is used to examine the fractured surfaces of hyacinth composite sample samples. By using this technique, fibre clusters, fibre fractures and fibre pull-outs can be identified. Waste management and waste recycling concepts are heavily influenced by this manuscript. The zero-waste concept has been achieved through this work. According to all the findings of this study, the natural plant fibres from the water hyacinth plant and ash particles can be used as reinforcement materials in conjunction with an epoxy resin matrix for making lightweight particleboard products and other lightweight materials in general.
