  Development and Assessment of Mechanical Characteristics in Sisal-Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, S. Karuppaswamy, J. M. Babu, Shekar K, Vishnu S. Aher, S. Prathap Singh, R. Rangaraja, Antony Leo F., Deepak K., Aswin S

  Abstract: In many different fields, including tensile strength, reduced thermal expansion, and an amazing strength-to-weight ratio, fiber-reinforced polymer composites are gradually replacing conventional materials. This work mostly addresses the development and evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of epoxy composites improved with glass fibers and sisal. Among the benefits are biodegradability, lower weight, and more specific strength. Sisal polymer composites are included under natural fiber composites. Including sisal strands into glass fiber-reinforced …

  Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites with Silicon Carbide Additives

  By G Ashwin Prabhu, S Raja, S Murugapoopathi, M Santhosh, Aswanth Singh R, Dhanush J

  Abstract: This study explores the production and characterization of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites enhanced with silicon carbide (SiC) as a reinforcing filler. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of SiC on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the composites. Four different samples with varying SiC weight fractions (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) were prepared, keeping the glass fiber content constant. The composites were fabricated using a combination …
