THERMO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FABRIC REINFORCED COMPOSITES WITH FILED EPOXY MATRIX

Abstract

While the design problem seems to be essential in order to form a high performance composite one may ask more: is it possible to form a material able to give information about its state? Is it possible to control the properties of a composite through alternation of its various layers? Is it possible, finally, to obtain a multifunctional material based on a right design, on a cheap forming technique, on accessible components? This study is about partially answering the above questions. Two types of fiber fabric were used to form composites with filled epoxy matrix and materials bending and thermo-mechanical properties were evaluated using appropriate recommended methods.
