The authors describe a technique for melt infiltration casting of composites with a metallic-glass matrix. We made rods 5 cm in length and 7 mm in diameter. The samples were reinforced by continuous metal wires, tungsten powder, or silicon carbide particulate preforms. The most easily processed composites were those reinforced with tungsten and carbon steel continuous wire reinforcement. The Zr...

in this study, the strain rate effect on the bending properties of fiber reinforced composites for three types of polymer composites namely phenolic resin reinforced by woven basalt fibers, woven carbon fibers, and woven basalt/ woven carbon fibers at a total volume fraction of approximately 35% has been determined. flexural tests have been conducted at low range of strain rates included 0.03 m...

Living systems rely on pervasive vascular networks to enable a plurality of biological function in both soft and hard tissue. Extensive vasculature in composite structures, such as osseous tissue in bone and tracheary elements in trees, exemplify natural materials that are lightweight, high-strength, and capable of mass and energy transport. In contrast, synthetic composites possess high streng...

Polymer matrix composites can be severely degraded/damaged under thermal loading caused by fire. Fire degradation of fiber composites is a serious concern in large load-bearing structural applications such as ship, piers and bridges. This paper describes results from combined experimental and theoretical studies of compressive failures of polymer-matrix glass-reinforced composites which have un...

The glass-reinforced laminated composite is widely used in place of conventional structural materials. glass fiber composites demonstrate outstanding strength the uniaxial direction. effect carbon nanotube reinforcement percentage on flexural polymer investigated this article. final laminates has been found to improve by reinforcing Carbon nanotube. small incorporation MWCNT improves up 51.3%. ...

In this study, bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of renewable biomass was added by the mass of phenol to synthesize bio-oil phenol formaldehyde (BPF) resins, which were used to fabricate glass fiber (GF) reinforced BPF resin (GF/BPF) composites. The properties of the BPF resin and the GF/BPF composites prepared were tested. The functional groups and thermal property of BPF resin were thoroughly inves...

A series of studies were conducted to investigate the effect of LCP inclusion on the processability of short glass fiber reinforced toughened nylon 6,6. The objective was to identify the role of each component phase and obtain composite synergism arising from a multi-component system. It was found that a hybrid composite offered superior processability over the glass fiber reinforced polymers a...

Natural fibers (NFs) have recently been the center of attention among researchers due to their low cost, availability, ease manufacture, and potential environmental friendliness as reinforcing agents in composites. The present work deals with mechanical behavior palm fiber-reinforced epoxy-based composites different weight percentage (Wt.%) ratios, ranging from 6% 31.6%. Glass hybrid were also ...
