Data set on Characterization of the Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Cow Dung Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Comparative Study with Corn Stalk Fiber Composites and Sisal Fiber Composites

The mechanical tests for the polymer composites in this study included an impact strength test and shear strength test, according to the standards GB/T 33835-2017 and GB/T 26739-2011, respectively. The impact strength of the Ref, CDFC, CSFC, and SFC wascarried out by an impact tester (XJ-40A, Shanghai, China) to assess the impact-resistance properties and evaluate the overall composite toughness. The tested polymer composites were prepared to a standard size of 55 mm × 6 mm × 4 mm. The shear strength wasmeasured by a universal testing machine (WAW-100, Guilin, China) to determine the ability of these composites to resist shear loads, and the tests were performed at a crosshead speed of 10 mm/min with a sample size of 20 mm × 20 mm × 10 mm. The average of five parallel tests for each composite was taken as the final result.
