Abstract:This study presents the effect caused by the saline environment (artificial seawater) on the physical and tribological properties of laminated composite materials reinforced with aramid fibers when they are subjected to erosive wear by sand particles. Composite materials made by epoxy resin and reinforced with glass fiber, carbon fiber and hybrid fiber (aramid with carbon) were studied. The laminates were superficially reinforced with layers of Kevlar fiber and prepared by the vacuum-assisted resin infusion pr… Show more
