AB - Aloevera loomed mat and porous Punica Granatum peel (pomegranate) biochar particles are utilised in this study to create high-toughness epoxy bio-composites for low-cost, light-weighted applications. The purpose of this study was to see how a silane-treated aloevera fibre with silane-coated biochar particles added at various concentrations influences the high-speed drilling and mechanical characteristics of epoxy composites. The high porous biochar particles were prepared from dried pomegranate peels via a low-temperature pyrolysis process. Subsequently, both the fibre and particles are silane-treated using ethanol based aqueous solution bath. The composites were prepared via cold open mould hand layup setup and post-cured at 120 °C in a hot air oven. Results revealed that the composite containing silane-treated aloevera fibre with loading fractions of 40vol.% and 3vol.% surface modified biochar particles have the maximum tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus, impact toughness, hardness and adhesion strength of 154 MPa, 5.12 GPa, 244 MPa, 6.71 GPa, 7.1 J, 92 shore-D, and 26.3 MPa, respectively. Similarly, with a particular wear rate of 0.006 mm3/Nm and a coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.34, for the 57/0/40/0/3 composite that exhibits superior tribology behaviour. Moreover, the silane-treated fiber, as well as biochar particles, derived epoxy composites shows high dimensional stability in both smaller and bigger diameter holes. There is no fibre pullout seen on the edges of the drilled portion on the silane-treated composite. These epoxy biocomposites with better mechanical and good machining characteristics could be useful in a variety of engineering applications needing high load bearing capacity and biodegradability, including automobiles, sporting goods, domestic sector, transportation, and aircraft.
