Abstract:This paper presents the influence of the type and structure of reinforcement, on the epoxy resin matrix polymer composites mechanical and ballistic properties. Aramid, basalt, glass fabrics and their hybrid systems were used as reinforcement. Impact strength according to Izod and "falling arrowhead", flexural strength and structure of the obtained composites were tested. The specific gravity was also determined. The aramid-glass hybrid composites showed high flexural strength (397 MPa) and Young's modulus (21 … Show more
