Impact Behavior of Polypropylene/Glass Fiber Fabric Composites

摘要

In this contribution compatibilized and not compatibilized polypropylene/glass fiber fabric composites were prepared and characterized through in terms of both static and low velocity impact response under various impact energies. A good fiber impregnation was achived in all systems, and results emphasized the influence of the fiber/matrix interface on damage modes occurring in laminates after low impact energy and at failure.
