PublicationEffect of elevated temperature on the tensile strength of Napier/glass-epoxy hybrid reinforced composites( 2017-11-07)
; ; ; ;The effects of elevated temperature on the tensile strength of Napier/glass-epoxy hybrid reinforced composites and its morphology of fractured surfaces are discussed. Napier/glass-epoxy hybrid reinforced composites were fabricated by using vacuum infusion method by arranging Napier fibres in between sheets of woven glass fibres. Napier and glass fibres were laminated with estimated volume ratios were 24 and 6 vol. %, respectively. The epoxy resin was used as matrix estimated to 70 vol. %. Specimens were tested to failure under tension at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min using Universal Testing Machine (Instron) with a load cell 100 kN at four different temperatures of RT, 40°C, 60°C and 80°C. The morphology of fractured surface of hybrid composites was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The result shows reduction in tensile strength at elevated temperatures. The increase in the temperature activates the process of diffusion, and generates critical stresses which cause the damage at first-ply or at the centre of the hybrid plate, as a result lower the tensile strength. The observation of FESEM images indicates that the fracture mode is of evolution of localized damage, from fibre/matrix debonding, matric cracking, delamination and fibre breakage.12 38 -
PublicationEffect of natural filler loading, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and moisture absorption on the dielectric constant of natural filled epoxy composites( 2020-12-01)
; ; ; ;The effect of natural filler loading, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and moisture absorption on the dielectric constant of natural filled epoxy composites was investigated. The natural filled epoxy composites were fabricated using a natural filler, MWCNTs and epoxy resin. The natural fillers chosen were Jute, Kenaf, and Napier. Composites were manufactured using a cold-press method, with the loading of the natural fillers being 7, 14, and 21 vol%, respectively, while the MWCNTs were 0 and 2 vol%. Dielectric tests were conducted using an Agilent/Keysight E8363B PNA Network Analyser in dry and wet conditions. The moisture absorption curves indicate that higher vol% natural filler loading increases the moisture content of the composites. The results show that the Napier filled epoxy composite had the lowest dielectric constant between 12.40 GHz and 16.66 GHz. The presence of 2 vol% MWCNTs successfully decreased the dielectric constant for 7 vol% Jute filled epoxy composites.2 18
