Hybrid Thermoset Matrix Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites, a Study of Interlaminar Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study carbon fibre reinforced epoxy, unsaturated polyester, and vinyl ester based, binary (two-component) hybrid matrix polymer composites were produced and mechanically characterized by interlaminar shear tests. Fracture surface of tested composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Toughness of hybrid matrix composites were identified and compared to that of the reference, non-hybrid matrix ones.
