Tensile and Flexural Properties of Aramide/Glass/Onion Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Composites

Fiber-reinforced Epoxy Composites have played a dominant role for a long time in a variety of applications for their high strength, light weight, cost effectiveness and degradability. The fiber which serves as a reinforcement in reinforced plastics may be synthetic or natural. In this connection, an investigation has been carried out to make use of Aramide/Glass/Onion fibers. The present work describes the development and characterization of mechanical properties of Aramide/Glass/Onion fiber based composites consisting of reinforcement and epoxy as matrix. Epoxy having good mechanical properties and it is very cheap. Experiments are carried out to study the effect of fiber on mechanical properties of these composites. In the present work, epoxy, Aramide/Glass/Onion fiber reinforced composites are developed and their mechanical properties are evaluated and then compared. Investigation of interfacial bonding between Aramide/Glass/Onion fibers reinforced epoxy composites will be carried out. Tensile and Flexural properties are determined using Universal Testing Machine (UTM), Chemical resistances will be done to these composites. And also comparison of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis is carried out.
