Environmental Corrosion Resistance of Textile Reinforced Composites in Seawater

Abstract:

In order to study on mechanical performance as the target of environmental corrosion resistance property, three kinds of glass fiber fabrics like biaxial warp knitted fabric, biaxial stitch-bonded felt and three axial warp knitted fabric were used to prepare textile reinforced composites in five layers laminated structure, which were soaked in seawater environment for 180 days. The result showed that, the surface appearance of textile reinforced composite became muddy and the color became darker, the tensile strength and bending strength of composites decline of the whole with the extension of soak time, the average loss rate of tensile and bending performance are respectively 24.8% and 56.5%, all of these provide the theoretical basis for researching and developing high-quality composite materials.
