Mechanical Characterization of Hybrid Polymer Composite for Marine Application

An investigative work was conducted to examine the tensile, flexural and impact strength of carbon fiber reinforced vinyl ester composites filled with different proportions (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 2) graphitic nitride (g-C3N4) silicon (Si3N4) filler. Composites were fabricated by hand layup method. Results showed an increase in tensile g-C3N4 Si3N4 particles content 1% beyond which decreased. With addition 1wt% composites, increased 16% 10%. The eroded surface specimen observed under scanning electron microscope results are reported. Incorporation nano fillers hybrid polymer composite will enhance mechanical properties. Hence C-V extensively used marine applications.
