The tensile strength of 3-dimension-4-direction braided/epoxy resin composites after accelerated aging for different period of time at 180°C was investigated. The tensile tests of 3-dimension-4-direction braided/epoxy resin composite samples without aging and aged 60 hours, 120 hours, 180 hours, at 180°C were carried out. The damage forms of braided composite samples tested were investigated. The experiment result indicates that the accelerated aging process at 180°C has obvious effect on the tensile strength of braided composite samples. The average tensile strengths of composite samples aged 60 hours, 120 hours, and 180 hours period of time at 180°C are 86.29%, 88.59% and 84.12% of average tensile strength of braided composite samples without aging, respectively. This means that the tensile strength of aged braided composites will be decreased. The damage form of samples tested shows that after aging for a long time at 180°C, the resin is damaged badly and becomes brittle which make the bonding force between fiber and resin decrease. This is the reason of the decrease of tensile strength of composites after accelerated aging at 180°C.

In this paper, the tensile strength of 3-dimension-4-direction braided/epoxy resin composites after accelerated aging for different period of time at 150°C was investigated. The tensile tests of 3-dimension-4-direction braided/epoxy resin composite samples without aging and aged 60 hours, 120 hours, 180 hours, at 150°C were carried out. The damage forms of braided composite samples tested were investigated. The experiment result indicates that the accelerated aging process at 150°C has some effect on the tensile strength of braided composite samples. The average tensile strengths of composite samples aged 60 hours, 120 hours, and 180 hours period of time at 150°C are 92.44%, 91.62% and 84.91% of average tensile strength of braided composite samples without aging, respectively. This means that the tensile strength will be decreased when the aging period of time increases at 150°C. The damage form of samples tested shows that when accelerated aging, the resin in the composite samples is damaged, which makes the adhesive force between fiber bundles and epoxy resin decline, so that the ability of fiber and resin bearing the tensile load together decreases.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tensile property of laminated epoxy resin composites reinforced by carbon fiber plain woven fabric after accelerated aging for different period of time at 150°C. For this purpose, the tensile tests of laminated resin composite samples without aging and aged 60 hours, 120 hours, 180 hours, at 150°C were carried out. The damage forms of composite samples tested were investigated. The experiment result indicates that the accelerated aging process has an obvious effect on the tensile strength of composite samples. The average tensile strengths of composite samples aged 60 hours, 120 hours, and 180 hours period of time at 150°C are 87.31%, 88.61%, 79.05% of average tensile strength of composite samples without aging, respectively. The observation of the damage form of samples tested shows that when accelerated aging, the resin in the composite samples is damaged and the adhesive force between fiber bundles and epoxy resin decline, which makes the ability of fiber and resin bearing the tensile load together decreases.

An experimental was investigated the condition of reinforcement of hemp fiber and hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites with carbon nanotubes (CNTs).The CNTs were mixed with several liquid such as ethanol, latex, water glue and epoxy resin. These mixtures were added to hemp fiber and prepared the hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites. The mechanical properties of both fiber and composite samples were measured. It was found that the mixture of epoxy resin and CNTs with CNTs ratio of 20 vol% in hemp fiber showed the highest tensile strength of 25.43 N. and the same mixture in hemp fiber/epoxy resin composites showed the highest tensile strength of 31.82 MPa and elongation of 7.40 %.

Epoxy Resin Composites

The tensile tests of 3-dimension and 5-direction braided/epoxy resin composites were carried out at 150°C and 180°C with 15 minutes, 10 hours and 30 hours heating period of time, respectively. The reasons for the variations of tensile property of these composites with different heating period of time at 150°C and 180°C were analyzed. At 150°C and 180 °C，with heating period of time increasing the tensile strength of samples keeps the same level. the average tensile strength of samples at 180 °C is decreased only 5.0% compared with that at 150°C. The variation coefficient (CV) of tensile strengths at 180°C is also close to that at 150°C. These show that the tensile strength of 3-dimension and 5-direction braided/resin composites has no great change under 180 °C. However the resin in samples tested at 180°C is damaged more seriously than that at 150°C. The reason of damaged resin no great effect on tensile strength is that at high temperature, 3-dimension and 5-direction braided reinforcement still keeps an integrated structure, which can recuperate the loss of tensile strength made by resin damage. So the structure of reinforcement plays an important role at the tensile property of 3-dimension and 5-direction braided/resin composites at high temperature. The results derived from this paper will provide a useful reference for the application of 3-dimension and 5-direction braided/epoxy resin composites at high temperature and over a relatively long period of time.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/epoxy resin composites were prepared by using a sonication technique. Microstructure, mechanical and physical properties such as hardness, wear resistance, tensile strength and density of the composite samples were examined. The tensile strength of the 0.6 vol.% CNTs/epoxy resin composites compared with the monolithic epoxy resin increased 183%. The hardness and wear resistance were maximum at 0.8 vol.% CNTs. Moreover, SEM image of the composites indicated that there is good adhesion between CNTs and the epoxy resin.

In this paper, carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites were produced by stacking eight pieces of carbon fiber woven plain fabric and subjected to accelerated ageing. Accelerated ageing was carried out in oven at 180°C for three different time intervals (60 hours, 120 hours and 180 hours). The influence of different ageing time intervals at 180°C on tensile properties of laminated composites was examined, compared with the composites without aging. The appearance and damage forms of these laminated composites were investigated. The results revealed that the tensile strength of the laminates declined significantly after long term accelerated aging at 180°C. The average tensile strengths of composite samples aged 60 hours, 120 hours, and 180 hours period of time at 180°C are 80.36%, 79.82%, 76.57% of average tensile strength of composite samples without aging, respectively. The high temperature accelerated aging makes the resin macromolecular structure in the composites changed, and then the adhesive force between fiber bundles and resin declines rapidly which result in the tensile strength of composites aged decrease. This research provides a useful reference for long term durability of laminated/epoxy resin composites.

Heating Period

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tensile property of laminated epoxy resin composites reinforced by carbon fiber plain woven fabric with different heating period of time at relatively high temperature. For this purpose, the tensile tests of laminated resin composites are carried out at 150°C and 180°C with 15 minutes, 10 hours and 30 hours heating period of time, respectively. The reasons for the variations of tensile property of these composites with different heating period of time at 150°C and 180°C are analyzed. At 150°C and 180 °C，with heating period of time increasing the tensile strength of samples keep the same level. However at 180 °C the average tensile strength of samples is decreased by 14.95% compared with that at 150°C and the variation coefficient (CV) of tensile strengths at 180°C is much more than that at 150°C. These show that the tensile strength of resin laminated composites is sensitive at high temperature, although the tensile strength of resin laminated composites keeps the same level at same temperature with different heating period of time. The reason of the tensile strength of resin laminated composites decreased at high temperature is that resin has been damaged，which losing the adhesion of fiber and resin, so that these make resin and fiber can not bear the tensile load together. The research results will provide a basic reference for the application of plain woven fabric reinforced laminated resin composites with long using period of time at high temperature.

This work investigated the effects of using a new fabrication technique to prepare polymer composite on the wear-resistant performance of epoxy resin composites under dry friction conditions. Polymer composite samples with different weight contents of silicon carbide (SiC) particles were manufactured. This paper addresses the wear behavior of the obtained samples. With the suggested technique, the samples were prepared from epoxy/silicon carbide particles using a layer of thin kraft paper to prevent the sedimentation of the ceramic particles and to control the weight content of ceramic in the polymer. Kraft paper was used as a layer in the polymer composite. The hardness, wear resistance, and water absorption capacity of the produced epoxy composite samples prepared using the kraft paper technique were evaluated. The morphology of epoxy composite samples showed a significant improvement in the ceramic distribution and enhancement of interface bonding between ceramic and the polymer. The hardness values of the developed polymer composites were enhanced by up to 42.8%, which was obtained at 18 wt.% SiC particles. Increasing the ceramic content in the epoxy also led to the enhancement of wear resistance compared with pure epoxy. The results of the microstructure study also showed that the kraft paper layers helped in maintaining the distribution of the ceramic particles according to the previously specified content in each layer in the sample. Wear tests showed that the wear rate of the polymer composite decreased with the increase in the ceramic content. This study provides a new recycling method for using old kraft paper in polymer composite manufacturing to improve the distribution of ceramic particles in the polymer matrix.
