This paper presents the investigation of composite materials lamination using different materials in the structure of lamination. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the behaviour of characteristics in composite materials subjected to difference of fatigue loading, leading to understand the criteria that influence the behaviour of composite lamination structure. Therefore, in this research, the orientation of lamination structure used is 00/900and the material selected for the study were chopped strand mat (csm) and woven roving fabric (wr) as a reinforcement and the matrix used were polyester and epoxy resin. The composite lamination structure was produced using hand lay-up technique. The fatigue condition experiment of composite materials in this research was carried under tension-tension loading. With difference in fatigue loading condition, the lifetime of composite structure will be different and the cracking phenomenon in the structure will also be different. It is suggested that, different number of lamination and amount of reinforcement and matrix, produce a variety of materials characteristic with respect to elasticity of material. An implication of the study in this research showed various behaviour of composite materials with different materials used and it showed a difference phenomenon in comparison to metalic materials.

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.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation on the post-repair flexural response of mortars with and without damage. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the damaged mortars, which were subjected to different loads ranging between 40 % and 90 %, the mortars specimens were reinforced and repaired using two different composite materials, the first with only epoxy resin, while the second consisted of a mixture of epoxy resin and glass fiber. The results show a significant improvement in the stiffness damaged. Therefore, the reinforced specimens by a layer of resin on the lower side surface increased the bending strength by 58 %, when compared to those control samples. The reinforcement using composite resin-fiber of glass exhibited considerable increases in the safety of constructions. The SEM images of damaged samples with and without repair, revealed the impact of reinforced glass fibers-mortar on the matrix-mortar by improving theirs mechanical performances.

This paper presents data on the development of polymer composite materials based on thermoplastic elastomers. As starting materials for the synthesis of the matrix components were selected as follows: isotactic polypropylene and ternary ethylene-propylene-diene elastomer (EPDM). Diene component in EPDM are ethylidene norbornene composition in an amount of 4-5%. Dynamic vulcanization was carried out using the elastomer element sulfur. The filler polymer composite materials used silica gel with dimethyl polysiloxane. Synthesis was carried out by filling the sol-gel technology. The filler content in the composite varied from 10 to 80% by weight. Mixing of filler and the matrix was performed in a laboratory twin-rotor mixer, type "Brabender". It is found that the maximum possible filler content of the matrix used was 80%. With the introduction of more filler mixing of the components it has been difficult. When the filler content from 10 to 70% of parameters such as tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of longitudinal elasticity increasing and administered at higher filler and 80 wt%. markedly reduced. Thus, it can be concluded that the content of filler in the composite is 70%. Further research should be directed to the evaluation of the radiation resistance of the developed composite materials.

The aim of this study is to analyze the thermal properties of sago fiber-epoxy composite. The sago fiber-based composite has been prepared using epoxy resin as the matrix, via a simple mixing followed by compression. The compression process includes hot compression (100 °C/10 kgf cm−2) and cold compression (ambient/10 kgf cm−2). The composite series was prepared with 9%, 13%, 17%, 20%, and 23% (w/w) of epoxy resin. Microstructures of all materials used were observed using an SEM (scanning electron microscope) instrument. The thermal properties of the composite and its components were examined through TG/DTA characterization. The samples were heated using the heating rate of 10 °C/min from room temperature to 400 °C, except for epoxy resin, which was heated to 530 °C. TG/DTA results depict three stages of thermal processes of sago fiber-epoxy composite: evaporation of water molecules at below 100 °C with the peak point within the range of 51.3 and 57.3 °C, the damage of sago fiber within the range of 275 and 370 °C with the peak point within the range of 333.3 and 341.3 °C and the damage of epoxy resin at above 350 °C with the peak point at 376.2 °C.

Most artificial socket prostheses are applied to fatigue load; therefore, more failure of socket prostheses occur due to fatigue loading. Then, it was necessary to improve the fatigue characterizations of composite materials used to manufacture the artificial socket prostheses by using hybrid nanomaterials, with different types and amounts. So, this work suggested mixing two nanomaterials types to improve the mechanical and fatigue properties of composite materials. Therefore, the experimental work used to manufacture tensile and fatigue samples of composite with different nanoweight fraction effects, in addition to calculating the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior for its composite. There, strength and modulus of elasticity, in addition to, fatigue strength and life evaluating of composite with different nanomaterials mixing. Also, the numerical technique by using the finite element method is used to calculate fatigue life and strength of composite materials. Also, comparison fatigue results were calculated by experimental work with fatigue results evaluated by numerical technique to give the discrepancy for results evaluation. Hence, the comparison of results showed good agreement for the technique used to evaluate the fatigue behavior of composite materials with the nanoeffect, where, the maximum error did not exceed (11.86%). Finally, the results have shown that the reinforcement by mixing two Nanomaterial types lead to improvement in the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior to more than (35%) and increasing the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior to (10%) more than the increase of properties and fatigue characterizations reinforcement by one Nanomaterial type.

The performances of composite materials are influenced by the properties of the matrix used. The latter ensures the desired form and the protection of the reinforcements against the external attacks. This work comprises a comparative study between laminates developed with different matrices in epoxy resin. Their characterization has to choose the best matrix able to give best results in static and dynamic tests. The resins used are provided by Granitex Algéria and which are primary Médapoxy STR resins, Médapoxy inject 812 and Médapoxy Al resin. Hence, the results of tensile tests prove a fragility of the AL resin which influences the maximal constraint of traction compared to the STR primary resin. Furthermore, Inject 812 resin shows very limited mechanical properties due to the changes of the epoxy network with the addition of diluents which has significantly decreased its viscosity.

Technical textiles and composite materials in general becomes more and more popular for the reinforcing of concrete elements. These materials are very often combined with high performance fine grain concretes with big surface quality. High performance concretes developed rapidly in the last decade and therefore also composite materials must be developed hand in hand with concrete. One possibility is to further imrove basic material or roving itself, but this article is focused on improving of the polymer matrix. As a matrix in this presented article was used epoxy resin. The purpose of the experiment was to improve the tensile parameters of composite reinforcement by adding fillers into the matrix. Fillers improve interaction between individual fibers and thatks to that improve parameters of entire composite.

The present research shows a fractographic analysis, using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), based in previous experimental tests of the delamination under mode I fatigue loading for two aeronautical quality composite materials at different test temperatures (90, 20 and −60 °C) in order to analyze the matrix and temperature influence (flight conditions). The materials employed are composed of two different epoxy matrixes and the same unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcement. This study suggests a variable behavior depending on the temperature and the type of matrix used.

Bulk Scale

Fiber reinforced composite materials are typically comprised of two phases, i.e., the reinforcing fibers and a surrounding matrix. At a high volume fraction of reinforcing fibers, the matrix is confined to a microscale region in between the fibers (1–200 µm). Although these regions are interconnected, their behavior is likely dominated by their micro-scale. Nevertheless, the characterization of the matrix material (without reinforcing fibers) is usually performed on macroscopic bulk specimens and little is known about the micro-mechanical behavior of polymer matrix materials. Here, we show that the microscale behavior of an epoxy resin typically used in composite production is clearly different from its macroscale behavior. Microscale polymer specimens were produced by drawing microfibers from vitrifying epoxy resin. After curing, tensile tests were performed on a large set of pure epoxy microfiber specimens with diameters ranging from 30 to 400 µm. An extreme ductility was observed for microscale epoxy specimens, while bulk scale epoxy specimens showed brittle behavior. The microsized epoxy specimens had a plastic deformation behavior resulting in a substantially higher ultimate tensile strength (up to 380 MPa) and strain at break (up to 130 %) compared to their bulk counterpart (68 MPa and 8%). Polarized light microscopy confirmed a rearrangement of the internal epoxy network structure during loading, resulting in the plastic deformation of the microscale epoxy. This was further accompanied by in-situ electron microscopy to further determine the deformation behavior of the micro-specimens during tensile loading and make accurate strain measurements using video-extensometry. This work thus provides novel insights on the epoxy material behavior at the confined microscale as present in fiber reinforced composite materials.

Epoxy resins have been presenting a lot of scientific and technical interests and organic modified epoxy resins have recently receiving a great deal of attention. For obtaining the composite materials with good mechanical proprieties, a large variety of organic modification agents were used. For this study gluten and gelatin had been used as modifying agents thinking that their dispersion inside the polymer could increase the polymer biocompatibility. Equal amounts of the proteins were milled together and the obtained compound was used to form 1 to 5% weight ratios organic agents modified epoxy materials. To highlight the effect of these proteins in epoxy matrix mechanical tests as three-point bending and compression were performed.
