Abstract
In the present communication, a study on the synthesis and mechanical properties of a new series of green natural resins based bionanocomposites consisting of acacia, almond, neem and drumstick as resins with nano silica and nanosized calcium oxide as reinforcing fillers has been reported. Mechanical properties such as tensile, shear, adhesive and wear properties were investigated. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as tensile strength, water resistance and wear resistance of bionanocomposites increases to considerable extent when reinforced with Nano powders of calcium oxide and silicon dioxide. These results are compared with the epoxy resin based nanocomposites. The bionanocomposites have potential to have widespread bioengineering applications.
