The interlaminar strength of the glass fiber polyester composite

Abstract

The paper outlines the method and the results of the experimental investigation of interlaminar strength of glass fibre reinforced polyester composites, with the aim of determining the influence that the structure, a reinforcement type and a sort of resin exert upon the interlaminar strength. The tested specimens were fabricated under different formation conditions, namely in eight composition patterns and with three sorts of resin used for polymerization.
