Properties Of Composites

Phoenix sp. fiber-reinforced epoxy composites have been manufactured using compression molding technique. The effect of reinforcement volume content (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) and size (300 µm particles, 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm fibers) on quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties was investigated. Moreover, the water absorption properties of composites were analyzed at different environmental conditions (10℃, 30℃, and 60℃). For each reinforcement size, composites loaded with 40% in volume show highest tensile and flexural properties. Furthermore, composites with 300 µm particles present the best impact properties and the lowest water absorption, regardless of the environmental condition. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composites loaded with 40% in volume were analyzed by varying the reinforcement size and the load frequency (i.e., 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 5 Hz, and 10 Hz). It was found that the glass transition temperature of short fiber-reinforced composites is higher than that of the composite loaded with particles.

Water Absorption Rate

This work deals with the investigation of mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of Calotropis Gigantea fiber reinforced epoxy composites prepared by using compression molding technique. The experiments were carried out by varying fiber length (10, 20, and 30 mm) and volume fraction (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30%). In addition to this, the water absorption behavior was analyzed at different climatic temperatures of 10℃, 40℃, and 70℃. The composites reinforced with 25% in volume of Calotropis Gigantea fiber showed better tensile, flexural, and impact properties. The hardness value and water absorption rate are higher for composites reinforced with 30% in volume of 30-mm Calotropis Gigantea fibers. Moreover, by increasing the bath temperature, the water absorption rate associated to this class of composite increases.
