Abstract
The utilization of natural fibers and fillers in composite materials has gained significant attention for their potential to enhance mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties while promoting sustainability. In this study, Prosopis juliflora fiber (PJF) reinforced epoxy composites, treated with silane and incorporating Syzygium cumini filler (SCF), were investigated to assess their performance across various parameters. The composites were subjected to comprehensive mechanical, tribological, thermo-gravimetric, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 3D profilometer, and morphology studies to elucidate the effects of silane treatment and SCF content on composite…
