| Abstract: | Glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites were prepared using tetra-N-glycidyl-p,p′-diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM) as a resin matrix with/without fortifier PGEHA/VCDRC (at 20 phr level) using DDM/DDS as curing agent; the composites were evaluated for their various physical, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties. Carbon fiber (i.e., unidirectional, bidirectional, and chopped) reinforced composites of TGDDM with/without epoxy fortifier PGEHA/VCDRC (at 20 phr level) were also prepared and evaluated for their physical and some mechanical and chemical properties. It is observed that incorporation of fortifier (at 20 phr level) improves these properties significantly. |
