Abstract:The goal is to study the effect of the SiO2 micro and nano-particles addition on the strength of epoxy composite based on glass fibers using (2, 4, 6 and 8) wt% of SiO2, the interlaminar fracture toughness (GIC) of 16-plies [M]16 of woven roving glass fiber /epoxy composites prepared by hand lay-up technique were investigated, using DCB test (mode I). The results computed using area method shows that the Interlaminar fracture toughness was increase with the filler content, higher values of GIC were observed fo… Show more
