Abstract:Inorganic powders (IPs), including SiO2, Al2O3, and Ca3Si3O9, were used as reinforcements and thermosetting epoxy resin was utilized as a matrix to manufacture IP/epoxy preform. The effects of stirring speed on the physical and mechanical properties of IP/epoxy composites were analyzed. Results showed that the tensile, flexural, and impact mechanical properties of IP/epoxy composites generally increased first and then decreased with the rise in stirring speed. They improved by 27.03%, 13.75%, and 8.78% when th… Show more
