Dynamic mechanical properties and interphase fiber/matrix evaluation of unidirectional glass fiber/epoxy composites

摘要

Storage modulus, loss modulus, and loss factor of unidirectional fiber composites of epoxy resin with glass fiber were determined with a Perkin Elmer DMA-7 equipment in three point bending mode. The fibers were coated with two different types of epoxy resins and the relationship between the thickness of coating and the composite viscoelastic properties were determined. A simple micromechanical model was used to analyze the data. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. [References: 8]
