Abstract
The research study has focused on the influence of Kevlar fiber surface positions of fibers. The phosphoric acid (PA) pretreated epichlorohydrin (ECH) treatment was used for surface modification of Kevlar fiber. Flexural after indentation (FAI) evaluations were carried out on inter-intraply treated and untreated Kevlar hybrid composites. The surface characterizations of treated and untreated Kevlar samples were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), XRD, and FESEM analysis. The results revealed that the load-bearing capacity and flexural strength of intraply hybrid composites increased by 45.1% and 36.5%, respectively, compared to interply hybrid composites. Also, the indentation strength of the treated Kevlar intraply hybrid composites was 26.4% higher than that of the untreated intraply hybrid composites. Further, it was analyzed by damage progression and fractography analysis by field emission scanning electron microscopy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on a broad range of today''s reinforced plastics and composites including areas in:
Constituent materials: matrix materials, reinforcements and coatings.
Properties and performance: The results of testing, predictive models, and in-service evaluation of a wide range of materials are published, providing the reader with extensive properties data for reference.
Analysis and design: Frequency reports on these subjects inform the reader of analytical techniques, design processes and the many design options available in materials composition.
Processing and fabrication: There is increased interest among materials engineers in cost-effective processing.
Applications: Reports on new materials R&D are often related to the service requirements of specific application areas, such as automotive, marine, construction and aviation.
Reports on special topics are regularly included such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart" composite materials.
"The articles in the Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Products are must reading for engineers in industry and for researchers working on leading edge problems" Professor Emeritus Stephen W Tsai National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan
