Odpornost kompozitnih materialov proti udarcem

Due to their exceptional qualities, polymer matrix composite materials are finding more and more use in high-tech applications. The purpose of this work was to improve these composites' resilience to impact by adding glass microspheres to thermosetting phenolic resins. Glass fabric was used as the reinforcing material. The main objective of the study was to determine how different glass microsphere percentages affected the composites' mechanical characteristics. A fibre volume fraction of 0.6 was attained by utilising compression moulding to create the composites, which were made from four glass fabric plies. The mechanical properties were considerably improved by the addition of glass microspheres
