Mechanical Characteristics and Adhesion of Glass-Kevlar Hybrid Composites by Applying Different Ratios of Epoxy in Lamination

Hybrid composites have great potential for specific strength and stiffness, effective in aerospace industries, submarines, light-weight automotives. The mechanical adhesiveness of hybrid laminates can be enhanced by use matrix materials different ratios epoxy resin hardener. Gentle hardener the fabrication alter tensile modulus, bonding between fabric. Spectacular progress has been achieved selection appropriate amounts hybridization composite laminate. Hybridization was made Kevlar inorganic/organic fabrics glass stacked with material. To achieve combination properties strength, transparent commercial grades mixed various are incorporated as material to fabricate Three sheets, named A (3:2), B (4:1), C (2:3), were embedded hand layup method prepare a composite. Experimental tests, according ASTM 3039, performed determine properties. Peel 6862-11, investigate interlaminar layers. Shore hardness durometers used find out specimens at spots using D-2240 standard. Finally, physical testing, such density then water absorption, carried D-570 standard check swelling ratio specimens. results obtained highlight that specimen glass/Kevlar 3:2 lamination best (tensile hardness) lowest ratio, while system 4:1 shows adhesion capabilities.
