MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GLASS/BAMBOO FIBERS REINFORCED EPOXY COMPOSITES COMPARING WITH CHOPPED STRAND MAT TREATED WITH BACTERIAL CELLULOSE
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Fiber-reinforced epoxy composites have played a principal role for a lengthy time of applications for their strength, cost-effectiveness, lightweight, and degradability. An innovative method of manufacturing rigid and robust natural fiber preforms is studied. In this connection, an investigation has been carried out to make use of Glass/Bamboo Chopped strand mat treated with bacterial cellulose. The preamble of bacterial cellulose improves the strength and stiffness of the preform. With this preform, the hierarchical composites are manufactured by using conventional composite production methods, such as resin film infusion RFI or resin transfer molding RTM. The present work describes the development and characterization of mechanical properties of Glass/Bamboo Chopped strand mat fiber-based composites consisting of reinforcement and epoxy as a matrix. Tensile, Compressive, Flexural and Impact properties are determined using Universal Testing Machine UTM.
