Hybrid Particle/Fiber Polymer Based Composites Analysis Based on DMA Data vs. Material Property Predictions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper aims a comparison with respect to the dynamic mechanical properties of few hybrid polymer based composite architectures based on experimental data against micro-mechanical models based numerical predictions. The hybrid polymer based composites considered were particle-fiber combinations reinforced within an unsaturated polyester resin to provide different architectures. Variations in storage modulus (E’), loss modulus (E’’) and damping factor (tan δ) with temperature increase and different particle volume fraction were investigated. Data comparison reveals the herein composite architectures’ performances over the benchmark and enables further insight into the material development and characterization issues.
