Development of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites for Engineering Applications

Abstract

Composite materials are important in engineering applications. Particularly in the aerospace industry.  Polymer matrix composites are widely employed in aircraft structural applications. Many components have been developed as a result of the ultization of glass fibre in polymer matrix.  In this work, glass fibre is combined with epoxy resin and Polyurethane to achieve mechanical qualities such as tensile, flexural, and hardness strength. Composite laminates of epoxy and polyurethane are tested and the results are compared.
