This study aims to evaluate the result of experimental examination conducted on free vibration characteristics and dynamic mechanical analysis over a range of temperature and five different frequencies of short glass fibre polyester composite. The effect of temperature on the storage modulus, loss modulus, and damping efficiency (tan δ) is determined. Synthetic reinforced material is created in random fibre orientation using hand lay-up method by domination of fibre length (10mm) and weight percent (5, 10, 15, 20%). Improvement in the fibre content will make a rise in the natural frequency and the storage modulus is maximum when fibre content of 20wt. % is introduced to the composite materials in the temperature ranges of 300-800°C. The peak of loss modulus and damping curves were lowered with respect to the fibre content. The properties were compared with neat polyester.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the blends of epoxy/polybutadiene and the application of the blends to the encapsulation of capacitors. Experiments showed that the hydroxy-carboxyl terminated polybutadiene (HCTPB) had a good toughening effect on epoxy resins, and the blends of epoxy/HTPB or epoxy/HCTPB had good craze resistance at low temperatures. The phase separation and dynamic mechanical analysis of these blends are discussed below.
