The most prevalent reinforcing component in composite materials is carbon fiber. However, obtaining the monofilament's performance metrics of carbon fiber is a challenging task. In this study, we have used PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets having low mechanical properties. Our goal is to improve the mechanical properties of PVC sheets with the wrapping of carbon fiber. The wrapping of carbon fiber is done by the Hand Lay up method. In this paper, we analyze and compare the mechanical properties of the sheet by using two, four and six layers of carbon fiber on PVC sheets . The main aim of this study is to enhance the mechanical properties of PVC sheets by increasing the number of layers of carbon fiber without replacing the sheet and without enhancing the overall cost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
