Recently, natural filler reinforced polymer composites are important materials for various engineering applications. Hence, this present work focuses on utilization of Cocos nucifera shell powder (CNSP) as a filler in vinyl ester (VE) resin to produce particulate composite specimens. The particulate composite plates with various weights or filler contents from 5 to 30 wt.% were fabricated, using compression molding technique. The fabricated composites were subjected to tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, heat deflection and swelling behavior tests to obtain their corresponding material properties. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis was carried out on the Cocos nucifera shell powder/vinyl ester (CNSP/VE) composite specimens to investigate into the presence of their elements, in addition to the aforementioned tests. From the experimental results obtained, it was observed that the optimum mechanical properties of CNSP/VE composites were obtained at 15 wt.% of filler content, having tensile, flexural and impact strengths of 38.70, 105.13 MPa and 33.04 kJ/m 2 , respectively. Also, the heat deflection temperature (HDT) results varied from 158 (0 wt%, neat VE resin) to 171 o C along various percentages of filler contents. Lastly, the morphological study/analysis of the fractured CNSP/VE composite specimens was conducted by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to confirm the experimental data/results obtained. It was evident that CNSP/VE composite structures could be potential substitutes for some synthetic composites. Also, they are suitable for various engineering applications in aerospace, electrical/electronics and automobile industries, based on their properties.

“…For instance, when tamarind seed powder was reinforced with vinyl ester resin, the optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 15 wt% of tamarind seed ller, as a volume fraction. Furthermore, the llers can also be used to improve the quality of eco-friendly adhesives [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. When egg shell powder was combined with calcium and phenylphosphonic acid or with natural rubber latex foam, high strength composites were formed [25,26].…”

“…• Composites de matriz polimérica (PMC): consisten en materiales compuestos por una matriz polimérica que, gracias al amplio abanico de variantes existentes, se les asocia con excelentes propiedades físicas y mecánicas, considerándoles también reciclables y respetuosos con el medio ambiente [52]. Pueden basarse en aditivos en forma de fibras continuas o discontinuas, o bien en partículas o nanopartículas.…”

El polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) es un polímero termoplástico globalmente conocido, con destacadas propiedades de transparencia, biocompatibilidad, resistencia al ambiente, rigidez y fácil procesabilidad, pero con baja resistencia a la fricción y al desgaste. En el presente trabajo se han estudiado las propiedades tribológicas del PMMA, modificándolo con diferentes concentraciones de nanofases basadas en óxido de grafeno, y óxido de grafeno modificado con el líquido iónico tetrafluoroborato de 1-octil-3-metilimidazolio ([Omim]BF4). Los nuevos nanocomposites fueron elaborados mediante los procesos industriales de extrusión y moldeo por inyección, para ser estudiados tribológicamente bajo dos tipos de contacto, lineal oscilatorio y multirrayado, realizando también una caracterización estructural completa de los nanocomposites y nanofases, aplicando técnicas como XRD, XPS, espectroscopía Raman, TEM, TGA, DSC o DMA.
