Areca Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites: Effect of Chemical Treatments on Impact Strength
نویسنده
چکیده
In this research work, impact strength of untreated, alkali treated, potassium permanganate treated, benzoyl chloride treated and acrylic acid treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites were studied under 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% fiber loadings. Impact strength increased with increase in fiber loading up to 60% and then showed a decline for all untreated and chemically treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The acrylic acid treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites with 60% fiber loading showed highest impact energy absorbed, 28.28 Joules amongst all untreated and chemically treated areca/epoxy composites with same 60% fiber loading.
