Delamination resistance of GFRP‐epoxy rods with nanoparticle‐ and microparticle‐modified matrix and its correlation with the fracture properties of epoxy nanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Pultruded glass fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) rods are industrially produced for various applications. The mechanical properties of GFRP rods can be tailored, eg, with modified epoxy matrix by adding microsized and nanosized fillers. In this work, we investigated the transferability of the fracture properties of epoxy nanocomposites to GFRP epoxy rods. For this purpose, nanosilica particles, micron‐sized rubber, and micron‐sized calcium carbonate were used as fillers. Firstly, epoxy plates with different combinations of nanosized and micron‐sized fillers were produced and their fracture toughness evaluated. Secondly, using binary and ternary epoxy filler systems as matrices, GFRP rods were produced, and their fracture toughness was determined using a modified testing procedure derived from standard composite double cantilever beam specimens. Lastly, the correlation between fracture properties of epoxy nanocomposites and GFRP rods was analysed. Besides that, the fractographic investigations of both epoxy nanocomposites and GFRP rods were carried out and discussed.
