Characterization of Physical, Mechanical and Fire Properties of Fiber Glass Composite due to Weight Fraction

Abstract:

Glass-fiber reinforced plastics marketed are predominately based on one type of glass-fiber but with a wide variety of fiber formats, resin types, fillers and a wide range of process techniques. These choices result in materials with a wide range of behaviors in different applications. The aim of this work is to study the effect of different weight fraction for two types of polymeric composites for construction use. The properties of the two types of composites are characterized using conventional techniques.. The study revealed that weight fraction of 30 40 % for reinforcing glass fiber/polyester composite would achieve better characteristics. The addition of short fibers to a polymeric matrix will reduce its coefficient of thermal expansion.
