The effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on enhancing the interlaminar fracture toughness of glass fiber/epoxy composites was investigated. The GnPs were physically deposited on the fiber surface by the dip coating technique. The composites were fabricated by hand layup technique followed by the compression molding process. Mode-I fracture test was conducted on the composite specimens. Crack propagation was studied by the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. Mode-I fracture toughness for composites loaded with 0.5 wt.% GnPs showed improvement by an average of 60% when compared to the pristine composites. It is concluded that the addition of GnPs produces a strong fiber/matrix interface bonding which effectively limits the crack propagation.

Abstract In this investigation, we studied the process of dynamic crack propagation in a fiber-reinforced composite material using the optical Coherent Gradient Sensing (CGS) technique combined with high-speed photography. The mode-I fracture toughness of the unidirectional graphite/epoxy composite, IM7/8551-7, as a function of the crack-tip speed, was measured quantitatively. It was found that up to the Rayleigh wave speed of the composite material, the mode-I fracture toughness is a decreasing function of the crack-tip velocity. This behavior is similar to that observed in the dynamic crack propagation along interfaces between two homogeneous solids.
