Synthesis and Flexural Strength of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Matrix Composite
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Composite materials are multiphase materials obtained through the judicious combination of different materials in order to attain properties that the individual components by themselves cannot attain. The development of a structural composite materials construction promises to provide a reduced weight and cost solution for the manufacture of components. The composite materials is a light weight structural composite that is obtained by embedding continuous carbon fibers in one or more orientations in a polymer matrix. The fibers provide the strength and stiffness, while the polymer serves as the binder. The carbon fiber polymer matrix composites have attractive properties like low density, high strength, high stiffness, good creep resistance, good fatigue resistance, toughness and damage tolerance. The process of Filament Winding uses a continuous length of fiber strand / roving, or tape results in a shell of materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio due to the high percentage of fiber in the composite matrix (70-80%) patterns may be longitudinal, circumferential, helical or polar mostly requires thermal curing of work pieces. The laminas are taken in required dimensions and are subjected to high temperature curing at constant applied pressure. The flexural test is carried out as per ASTM D790 and it is found that the flexural strength in longitudinal orientation is significantly greater as compared to transverse orientation of fibers.
