Composition and properties of fiber reinforced composite materials

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study on development of compositions having all rheological properties required for composite materials. Examination of literature concerning methods of designing the compositions of composite materials shows that these methods, most of which are empirical and based primarily on a large number of experimental studies and lead to conclusions that, seem to us, to be limited and will suited to the composite material that fiber reinforced composite material is. The fiber reinforced composite is made of matrix and fibers. A high modulus polyethylene fiber was used as the reinforcing fiber. Fiber reinforced composite materials are highly heterogeneous compositions of the dispersion results are often large. To obtain usable information, we made a large number of tests on different specimens and then carrying out a statistical analysis of the results.
