Reinforcing by palms-kevlar hybrid fibers and effected on mechanical properties of polymeric composite material

Abstract EN

The mechanical properties of araldite(AY103) matrix composites reinforced with hybrid palms - kevlar fibers were evaluated .

There are indications that the incorporation of both fibers into a single matrix which is araldite resin will stabilize mechanical properties and lowering manufacturing costs .

In this research the impact strength , tensile strength ,flexural strength ,and hardness were studied for composite material reinforced with hybrid fibers for palms and kevlar as a woven roving (٠°-٤٥°) with surface density (285g/cm2) .

These fibers were mixed with araldite resin in different reinforcement percentage (20%,40%,60%) and the effect on the above mechanical properties were studied .

It has shown an improvement in these mechanical properties after reinforcement by fibers The value of mechanical properties will increase with increasing percentage of reinforcement .
