In this work, the effect of Arachis hypogaea powders, on the wear and morphological analysis of epoxy resin bio powders Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) treated and un treated (Arachis hypogaea shall powder filler loading 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 vol %) had been investigated. Composite Specimens were prepared by using hand layup method. Tests were conducted to evaluate wear properties of the epoxy composite. The results indicated that the Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) Arachis hypogaea bio filler had significant influence on the wear properties. Surface Morphological properties were examined using the SEM images of wear tested specimen.
