Description

The modeling and analysis of process parameters of Momordica angustisepala fibres (MAf) and Ant hill particles/polyester hybrid composites was done using response surface method. Impact energy was used for modeling and analysis. The morphology of the composites was done using scanning electron microscope. Optimum conditions were obtained at 5wt% Ant hill particles, 6wt% MAf, curing temperature (87°C) and curing time (5 hours) with impact energy of 7.82 Jmm2.The composition of 5wt% ant hill particles, 6wt% MAf, curing temperature (87°C) and curing time(5 hours) is recommended for structural application(car bumper) with impact energy of 7.72 Jmm2.
