Study of the Effect of Tungsten Carbide Nanopowder Agglomerate Additives on the Strength Properties of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic

Abstract

The paper presents the results of tests of carbon plastic samples consisting of carbon fabric Grafill TR30S-S (Italy) and epoxy resin binder EPR 320 modified by WC tungsten carbide nanopowders in the form of agglomerates. The positive effect of additives on the tensile strength and on the modulus of elasticity at transverse bending of the concentration of additives 1-3% is shown.
