A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a composite building material that consists of three components:[1][2]
- the fibers as the discontinuous or dispersed phase,
- the matrix as the continuous phase, and
- the fine interphase region, also known as the interface.
This is a type of advanced composite group, which makes use of rice husk, rice hull, rice shell, and plastic as ingredients. This technology involves a method of refining, blending, and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams to form a high-strength fiber composite material in a polymer matrix. The designated waste or base raw materials used in this instance are those of waste thermoplastics and various categories of cellulosic waste including rice husk and saw dust.
