BENDING STRENGTH AND STRUCTURAL HEALING PROPERTIES OF CARBON/PP(POLYPROPYLENE)/EPOXY COMPOSITES
Abstract
Bending strength and structural healing properties of carbon/PP(Polypropylene)/epoxy hybrid composites are investigated. Carbon and PP fibres are woven in a manual loom in which the carbon fibres provide high strength while the PP fibres contribute with their high strain in hybridization. Two different structural healing processes are used. Effectiveness of the proposed healing processes is evaluated by both mechanically and microscopically. The results showed that bending strengths of healed composites incredibly decreased at both 0° and 90° directions. Residual bending strengths of press-healed composites are higher than that of oven-healed composites since the molten PP filled the gaps more influentially under pressure.
