Abstract:Fiber optimization is one of the key factors in fabricating fiber-reinforced composites. A higher amount of fiber loading does not correspond to improved mechanical and thermal properties of composites. Consequences such as poor fiber wetting, formation of voids, and delamination may arise due to the lower amount of matrix at higher fiber loading. In this study, the loading percentage of nito fibers were varied from 5, 10, and 15 wt%. The mechanical and thermal analysis showed that the composite with the lowes… Show more
