contents Epoxy–melamine–cenosphere hybrid composites: complete analysis for engineering applications Devyani V. Kshirsagar Girish M. Joshi Polymer International Abstract In the present study, we explored the composition of an epoxy, melamine and cenosphere surface modified by using 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a hybrid filler and improved interfacial bonding. We analysed the structure, morphology, mechanical and tribological, thermal conductivity. XRD confirmed a transition from amorphous to semicrystalline phases of the epoxy composite. The chemical structure observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy exhibits a peak at 2930 cm −1 , indicating CH stretching and covalent bonding due to APTES, mutually supported by Raman spectroscopy. Improved filler distribution and reduced porosity were foreseen by SEM. A reduction in void content by 10%–12% was observed as a function of hybrid filler loading, confirmed by density measurements. There was a threefold increase in Shore D hardness (for 15 wt% hybrid filler) and increased tensile strength, 213 N (virgin epoxy) to 931 N (20 wt% hybrid filler). Increased thermal conductivity by 73%, with excellent heat diffusion, was confirmed by Lee's disc. A pin‐on‐disc tribometer demonstrated (67%) decreased specific wear rate compared to the virgin epoxy. This investigation may be deployable for the automotive and aviation domains as an emerging composite. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry. 10.1002/pi.70013 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
