“…In line with other published work [4] on incremental fibre loading, fibre-reinforced polymer composites appear to have enjoyed good number of mechanical properties as tensile, impact and flexural tendencies of these properties increases as fibre contents increases. The experimental work conducted by Chowdhury, et al [5] also corroborated the outcome of researches conducted by other papers [6][7][8] where tensile properties in these works improved as the fibre content is enhanced in the subsequent composite developed. Recent reports have revealed that enhancing the mechanical properties of fibre reinforced polymeric composites have made them suitable for some applications where metal matrix material have initially been used [9].…”

The primary objective of this research work is to analyse the effect of fibre loading and orientation on the tensile and impact strength of the polymeric composite materials. Fibre reinforced composite materials have been reported to have attracted many applications in view of its low weight and superior strength when compared with the metal matrix composite. While researches have established the weight reduction of fibre reinforced polymer material, few works have reported the impact of orientation on the manufacturing of polymer composite. In this study, series of experimental works were done to demonstrate the manufacturing of glass-fibre reinforced epoxy resin with special attention on the influence of oriented reinforced composite material. The composites were manufactured using hand-lay technique with three different fibre loadings (10, 20, and 30 wt. %) and at two different fibre orientations (30o and 60o). Key of the finding drawn from this research form the basis of discussion and, composite with 60o fibre orientation showed better tensile strength when compared with the neat resin and other oriented (G10E30) fibre reinforced composite. Similar observations were also noticed on the impact strength of these composites which signify the improved mechanical properties of oriented reinforced composite materials.Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.17

“…Researchers (Abdellaoui et al 2015) have reported on toughening of epoxy reinforced composite with much emphasis on its salient properties. Thus, the incorporation of additional rubbery phase into the composite tend to separate matrix during cure leading to different morphologies (Zhao et al 2015). Findings from Natarajan and Balasubramanya (2014) showed that toughness value of composite was enhanced when rubber was added to the matrix at the expense of modulus and thermal stability of the material.…”

Abstract:In this paper, attempts were made to study the progression of fibre-matrix adhesion of five composite specimens taking into consideration the hand lay-up method of composite formation. The ampreg 21 epoxy resin was used as the matrix for the glass fibre-epoxy resin formation. E-Glass fibre was used as matrix reinforcement. The morphology and the XRD of these composites were examined. Key of the findings from the morphological analysis of these composites showed that the fractured surface of the samples depicted better adhesion between the matrix and the fibres. The micrographs and EDS of the composite specimens also showed the retention of elemental composition of the glass fibre which is in line with other published works. The XRD results of these composites indicated a peak at Bragg's angle 2θ=20.6 o , affirming the remnant crystalline silica in the composite. Hence, these composites are projected to possess better dimensional stability adaptable for high performance structural applications.

“…Lately, natural fiber and synthetic fiber are being used simultaneously for some applications [25]. Manufacturers of such composite materials (natural and synthetic) have based their reasons on the tensile strength of the synthetic fiber which according to them could complement the natural fiber [26]. Natural fibers are being classified into three components based on their sources: plant, mineral, and animal fibers.…”

“…In several papers [6,26,36], natural fiber-reinforced composite materials have been processed either by using traditional techniques in which the production were done for conventional fiber-reinforced polymer composites and thermoplastics. Some of these techniques sometimes preclude hand lay-up processes which could involve compounding, mixing, extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, and resin transfer molding.…”
