  By Tran Thi Y Nhi, Trinh Duc Cong, Dang Thi Mai, Nguyen Thi Thuc, Tran Thi Thanh Hop, Tung Pham, Ngo Trinh Tung

  Abstract: In this study, a high-performance Kevlar/epoxy polymer composite was prepared using a hand lay-up technique. The Kevlar fiber was treated with calcium chloride/ethanol solution (CaCl2/EtOH) to enhance the interfacial interaction between the fiber and the epoxy matrix. The optimization of fiber surface treatment and fiber content for the best tensile strength (TS) of Kevlar/epoxy polymer composite was achieved using Box-Behnken design (BBD) through response surface methodology (RSM). Three parameters: CaCl2 …
