Tensile and Flexural Properties of Chopped Strand E-glass Fibre Mat Reinforced CNSL-Epoxy Composites.

Abstract

Abstract. Glass fibres have the principal advantages such as high tensile strength, high chemical resistance, low cost, and excellent insulating properties which makes them an important constituent in fibre reinforced plastic and composite industry. In this study, E-glass fibre in the form of Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) with different weight fractions such as 15%, 30%, and 45% were used as reinforcement in CNSL-epoxy resin composites. Fabrication of the composites was done by hand layup technique. Micro-hardness, tensile and flexural properties were investigated for all the composite panels of different compositions. The results clearly indicated an improvement in micro hardness, tensile and flexural properties with the increase in fibre content.

Evaluation of compressive strength, microhardness and solubility of zinc-oxide eugenol cement reinforced with E-glass fibers

“…The results suggest that there is more resistance to abrasion and distortion when the indenter is loaded into the modified groups. The presence of a hard E-glass fiber fillers phase within the matrix, which acts as the strongest reinforcement, may be the cause of the increased surface microhardness observed in the modified groups [ 61 , 62 ]. The reinforcements withstand the applied stresses, which raise the hardness and reduce plastic deformation [ 61 ].…”

Adsorption mechanism of E‐glass fiber/Aluminum particles/MWCNT filled epoxy matrix polymer composite in electronic applications

“…Glass fibers, by definition, can sustain higher static loads before failure, resulting in effective interfacial bonding between composite components. The addition of the E‐glass chopped fiber mat significantly improved the mechanical properties (Nayak et al., 2018). The researcher concentrated on improving material qualities before producing the composite; they used fiber orientations, directions, and treatments, and the specimen's tensile strength was raised by the position of the biaxial E‐glass fiber (Abhijith et al., 2021).…”

Study on fatigue failure of glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic pipe

“…Glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) is a composite pipe with inner and outer layers of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and an intermediate reinforcement layer of glass fibres that are bound to the inner layer at a certain angle and covered by the outer layer [1][2][3][4]. A RTP has the advantages of pressure resistance, high pressure rating, corrosion resistance, low weight, fewer joints required for installation, and low cost.…”
