Abstract The present research work studies the feasibility of using waste cotton fibres from carding machines as a reinforcing material in epoxy resin matrix for composite fabrication. Waste cotton fibres were utilized to produced thick paper with an areal density of 150 g/m2. The physico-chemical properties of the produced papers were evaluated by X-ray diffraction methods, chemically and tensile testing. Composites samples were prepared using modified paper with epoxy resin, maintaining with different fibre content (20%, 30% and 40 wt%). The mechanical properties of the composite were evaluated by the tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear test. The tensile fracture behavior of the composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile strength, flexural strength and inter laminar shear strength (ILSS) of 40% fibre content composite in the machine direction were found to be 48, 54 and 6.1 MPa respectively. The results indicate that waste cotton fibers can be an excellent reinforcing material for composite production.

(b) Thickness of fabric was carried out according to standard test method for thickness of textile material ASTM D1777 (2019), (c) The breaking load of a fabric measured the force required to break it as well as its ability to resist tension. This test was performed using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) in accordance with ASTM D5035, a standard test technique for Breaking Force and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Strip method). The samples were cut to 300 mm length and 50 mm width using the normal method, and then positioned between clamps at gauge length (75 mm) to ensure proper alignment, with the machine speed set to 300 mm/min. The stress was applied to the samples at a continuous rate until the sample broke, maximum load at failure, and elongation were measured. See Figure 4a and b. The average and standard deviation
Figure 4. Breaking load test behavior for samples (a) before and (b) after treatment. (d) Puncture resistance and displacement tests were performed to assess the ability of a fabric material to resist penetration under specific conditions. The test was carried out in accordance with the standard test method, ASTM D4833 (2007), after which the samples were cut to a standardized size of (100 mm � 100 mm) and mounted in a wrinkle-free clamping device. On the other hand, the puncture rate was adjusted according to the standard (300 mm/min.), and an appropriate probe was used during the test to penetrate the fabric until it passed through, as shown in Figure 5. After the test, the values of puncture resistance in newton's and displacement in mm were recorded.
