In the past, trade of the village folk depended on harvesting fibresgrown in their villages. Natural fibers have recently gaining attraction of researchersdue to their low cost eco-friendly and biodegradability characteristics they areexploited as a replacement for the conventional fibre, such as glass, aramid and carbon.Use of lignocellulosic fillers offers both cost saving and reduction in density ascompared to inorganic particulates. This paper deals with fabrication of compositesamples using coconut coir, epoxy resin (with hardener) and lignocellulosic particulatefillers such as cow dung, wheat husk and rice husk. after fabrication compositesamples were exposed to different environmental conditions such as ultravioletradiations, soil burial, high temperature, water (at room and high temperature) tostudy degradation behaviour of coir fiber reinforced epoxy composites filled withorganic lignocellulosic fillers. Composite samples were fabricated using compressionmoulding technique. Degradation was confirmed by change in mechanical properties(Tensile, flexural and impact strength) and microstructure.}, keywords = {Degradation studies,environmental conditions,Mechanical properties,Microstructure}, url = {https://ijlp.gau.ac.ir/article_2073.html}, eprint = {https://ijlp.gau.ac.ir/article_2073_0e62188932ccb507c66767d99d178cbc.pdf} }
