Examination of the Thermo - mechanical Properties of E-Glass/Carbon Composites

2017    Sezgin, Hande; Berkalp, Omer Berk; Mishra, Rajesh; Militky, Jiri

Eight-ply E-glass, carbon and E-glass/carbon fabric-reinforced polyester based hybrid composites were manufactured in this study. A vacuum infusion system was used as the production method. Dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis were conducted to examine the thermo-mechanical properties of composite samples. The effect of reinforcement type and different stacking sequences of fabric plies on the thermo-mechanical properties of composite samples were also investigated. Results showed that the type and alignment of reinforcement material has a significant effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of composite samples.
