Abstract

This report is based on the utilization of rice husk as reinforcement for plastic composites. Synthetic plastic composites are growing increasingly important as they are been used in almost all areas of life as far as the industry is concerned, this has led to its price escalation, environmental pollution and being mostly by-products of petroleum, these materials are non-renewable. Overcoming these problems gave the motivation for this work; hence this study tends to look at rice husk as a potential reinforcement for plastic composite fabrication by analysing its properties, uses, application as well as the process involved.
