The epoxy hybrid nanocomposite is prepared with 15 wt% of flax fiber (FF) and 1-5wt% boron carbide nanoparticle (B4C) through a compression moulding process. Before the fabrication, FF surface treated 5% concentration sodium hydroxide solution to enhance quality reduce moisture absorption. impact B4C on flexural, impact, hardness properties composites evaluated compared an epoxy/15wt% composite sample. samples (epoxy/15wt% FF, FF/1 B4C, 3wt% 5wt% B4C) show significant enhancement. For instance, flexural strength varies 48.5, 53.5, 58.6 & 65.6 MPa for 3.6, 4.1, 4.8 5.3 J/mm2 strength. Similarly, sample's demonstrates remarkable improvement 32.5, 35.6, 41.6, 46.7 HV increasing content (0, 1, 3, 5 wt%) in FF. comprising 15wt% HF achieves optimal values. failure analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, revealing interfacial debonding matrix cracking failures. This composition used automotive cabinet applications.
