The Cissus quadrangularis stem fiber (CQSF)-reinforced epoxy composite particulate filled with micro-red mud has been fabricated, and the mechanical and thermal behaviors have been investigated. The different compositions of the samples were prepared by the hand layup method. The base material was p...
