Tensile strength study of unsaturated polyester polyvinyl chloride composites reinforced with glass fibers

الملخص EN

Tensile strength study of UPE / PVC composites reinforced with one and two layers of random glass fibers has been investigated.

Hand layup method was used to prepare sheets of UPE / PVC blends with different weight percentage of PVC (10 %, 20 % and30 %) Results show increasing in the values of maximum stresses, yield stresses and modulus of elasticity for UPE / PVC blends with increasing the weight percentage of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

UPE / PVC blends reinforced with one layer of glass fiber results show good mechanical properties for the composite which contain 20 % PVC.

Also the results show that composites reinforced with two layers of glass fiber randomly increasing in values of maximum stresses with increasing PVC percentage.
