Abstract:

Continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic/thermosetting composites(GF/EP/PC) and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites(GF/PC)were prepared by thermomolding process,and comparative analysis of influencing factors of mechanical properties was made. The results showed that tensile elasticity modules and flexure modules of GF/EP/PC composites were respectively 16.4 times and 8.8 times of GF/PC composites, and tensile strength and flexure strength respectively increased 17 times and 37 times. Considering the mechanically damaged appearance photos and the fracture appearance (SEM),the failure mode and the interface between fiber and resin were analyzed.
