This paper focuses on the characteristic study of polymer matrix composites using a statistical approach, in terms of difference experimental and reflected to difference stacking sequence and orientation of composite lamination. Composite material, have an excellent characteristic and behavior, but with a difference application and materials used, it have a difference phenomenon occurred before the composite structure are collapsed. Therefore, in order to understand the characteristic of polymer matrix composites, it needs to investigate the phenomenon that influences the structure of composite lamination before failures. In this research, polymer matrix composites are produced using difference material and stacking sequence of lamination. The matrix used is thermoset epoxy and polyester resin with chopped strand mat (CSM) and woven roving (WR) as reinforcement materials. It has been produced using hand lay-up technique. The experimental work is carried out using the tension and flexural test accordance to ASTM-D3039 and D-D790 standard. By using a statistical approach, it can clearly show the differential between materials used with a characteristic of composite materials. It is noted, based on this investigation it also showed difference phenomenon failures and damage structure of polymer matrix composites with difference type of experimental.

The Matrix

A composite material is a macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials, having a recognizable interface between them. Modern composite materials are usually optimized to achieve a particular balance of properties for a given range of applications. Composites are commonly classified at two distinct levels. The first level of classification is usually made with respect to the matrix constituent. The major composite classes include organic – matrix composites (OMC's), metal – matrix composites (MMC's), and ceramic – matrix composites (CMC's). The OMC's is generally assumed to include two classes of composites: polymer – matrix composites (PMC's) and carbon – matrix composites [1]. The composite material used in the work belongs to the PMC's and the composite is formed by the polymer matrix - high density polyethylene. As filler was used hard-magnetic strontium ferrite. Composite samples were prepared with different filler content (0%, 60%, 70%, 80%). Testing of polymer composites included: tensile test, elongation at break, impact test, hardness test.

For the last decade, many researchers have been working to develop self-healing materials, and have obtained good results in the field of polymers, these components with microencapsulated healing agent have exhibited noticeable mechanical performance and regenerative property The research described in this paper applies the concept of self healing to simulate self healing polymer matrix composites, with the aid of models developed by the authors for the manufacturing processes and self-healing behavior. The development of self-healing is a novel idea that has not been totally explored in great detail yet. The concept of self-healing described in this paper consists of simulation of a healing agent dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) inside of a microvascular network within a polymer matrix coating with catalyst forming a self-healing composite (SHC). When this SHC is damaged or cracked, the healing agent by capillary action will flow inside of the microvascular network; when the liquid enter in contact with the catalyst will form a polymer structure and sealing the crack. The study consists of theoretical analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics of a self-healing polymer. The objective of the study reported here was to find the influence and efficiency of the microvascular network in healing a polymer matrix. To check this effect a computational model was created to simulate the healing treatment, thus a crack was created on the matrix surface piercing the microvascular network filled with healing agent and the method to simulate healing behavior of the composite allows assessment of the effects of the autonomously repairing repeated damage events.

The fabrication processing, dielectric properties and thermal properties of polymer-matrix composites containing AlN particles (10μm) for electronic substrates and microelectronic packaging applications were investigated. The epoxy resin (E-51) is used as the matrix, and the dispersion of the AlN in the composites is varied form 0 vol% to 40 vol%. The microstructures of the polymer-matrix composites are observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With increasing the AlN content, thermal conducting of composites is improved, while the composites still keep the relatively low dielectric constant and dielectric loss. According to the dielectric properties dependence on frequencies (1kHz-10MHz) of the composites, the Cole-Cole plot is analyzed. The dipole relaxation in the composite is induced, and it is suggested that the air layer exit between the epoxy resin and the AlN particles.

The composites materials are increasingly displacing the traditional ones and are the most widely used of all groups of engineering materials. Polymer matrix composites have the greatest application and they are used for equipment operating in the sea-water environment and polymer pipes. In this article, the mechanical properties of six types of polymer matrix composites reinforced with fiberglass fabric are considered and analyzed. Two types of resin were used for the matrix – polyester resin and vinyl ester resin. The both types of matrices are reinforced with three different fiberglass fabric- monoaxial, biaxial and triaxial fiberglass. The investigated composites are obtained by mechanical pressing in the form of sixlayer panels. A comparative analysis of tensile strength and banding strength of the six types investigated composites was made. A macrofractographic analysis of the structure was also performed.

AbstractA composite material is a macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials, having a recognizable interface between them. Modern composite materials are usually optimized to achieve a particular balance of properties for a given range of applications. Composites are commonly classified at two distinct levels. The first level of classification is usually made with respect to the matrix constituent. The major composite classes include organic – matrix composites (OMC's), metal – matrix composites (MMC's), and ceramic – matrix composites (CMC's). The OMC's is generally assumed to include two classes of composites: polymer – matrix composites (PMC's) and carbon – matrix composites (Peters, 1998). The composite material used in the work belongs to the PMC's and the composite is formed by the polymer matrix – rubber (sidewall mixture). As filler was used hard-magnetic strontium ferrite. Composite samples were prepared with different filler content (20%, 30%, 40%, 50%). Testing of polymer composites included: tensile test, elongation at break, hardness test and study of morphology.
