Effect of Rice Husks as Filler in Polymer Matrix Composites

In this study, rice husks filler polyester composites were produced with rice husks (RH) as filler and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) as the matrix. Several percentage of filler loadings were used (10, 15, 20 and 25 wt %) in order to gain insights into the effect of filler content on the mecha...
