ESTIMATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON FIBER/EPOXY HYBRID COMPOSITES WITH VARIOUS FIBER LENGTH AND ORIENTATION

Based on Room temperature cured epoxy is infused with Carbon fiber in order to synthesis composites. Carbon fiber is took in the 3, 5, 7 % weight in order to suspend on epoxy resin with different fiber lengths such as 1, 2, and 3 cm. The variations of above-mentioned properties on Carbon fiber–epoxy composites with different fiber lengths to be studied. Thermal properties such as TGA and DSC are need to study to evaluate the influence of change in fiber length on carbon fiber–epoxy composites. Majorimprovement Glass fiber reinforced composites due to their high specific strength and definite stiffness have become attractive structural materials not only in weight sensitive aerospace industry, civil engineering structures marine, armor, automobile, railways, sport goods etc. The results are to be compared whether the fiber content in weight percentage and the length of fiber are influenced on the improvement of tensile, flexural, and microstructural properties
