Implication

Investigation shows improved mechanical properties in vinyl ester composites with hybrid fillers, suggesting their potential in sustainable materials.

Key Points

Hybrid fillers enhanced mechanical properties, showing improvements in flexural, impact, and hardness characteristics compared to neat resin.
At 16 wt.% filler loading, flexural and impact strengths increased by 1.53 times and 1.66 times, respectively, while tensile strength declined.
Assessment utilizing TGA and HDT techniques revealed a high HDT value of 112°C for the reinforced composites.
Cost-effective, renewable agricultural by-products like areca nut shell and pineapple leaf powder provide sustainable composite options.
