Abstract

Potential adhesives like epoxy resins blended with mineral fillers created new trend now a days to terminate the use of expensive and rarely available fillers to blend with polymer matrix to enhance the performance of reinforced fibres. Present work highlights two different categories of E-glass fibres namely woven fabric and chopped strand mats are used as a reinforcing materials and epoxy resin constitutes matrix system. Several studies proved that the strength of GFRP composites progressively increased with adding fillers. Keeping this in mind the present work highlights the utilization of mineral filler called calcium ino silicate powder having the composition of CaSio3 as a filler material. By employing hand layup technique samples have been prepared from both woven and chopped type and tensile test is conducted as per ASTM standards and corresponding results are tabulated and recorded. The present work also highlights the comparison of tensile strength for both woven and chopped laminates. It is observed that use of mineral filler influences greatly on tensile properties of polymer matrix composite and it is also cleared that woven laminates shows greater resistance to tensile loading as compared to randomly oriented fibre.
