This study aims to reveal the consequence of thickness reinforcement on Fiber Laminates (Polyester Resin, Glass Fiber, Aluminum, and Bentonite) and to see if it can enhance the mechanical properties and resistance of laminates. Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites have recently been used in automotive, aerospace, and structural applications where they will be safe for the application s unique shape. Hand layup was used to fabricate three different combinations, including Aluminium /Glass fiber reinforced polyester composites (A/GFRP), Bentonite/Glass fiber reinforced polyester composites (B/GFRP), and Aluminium&Bentonie/Glass fiber reinforced polyester composites (AB/GFRP). Results revealed that AB/GFRP had better tensile strength, flexural strength, and hardness than GFRP and A/GFRP. Under normal atmospheric conditions and after exposure to boiling water, hybrid Aluminium&Bentonite and glass fiber-reinforced nanocomposites have improved mechanical properties than other hybrid composites. After exposure to temperature, the flexural strength, tensile strength and stiffness of AB/GFRP Composites are 40 % higher than A/GFRP and 17.44% higher than B/GFRP Composites.


Cooling system this study aims at fabrication Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester (G-P) Composites and investigation of their Physico-Mechanical Properties. In the present work Polyester based composites were fabricated manually by compression. Mechanical Properties are evaluated according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-638 and D-790 respectively. Further, Surface Morphology is emphasized to study their microstructure under varying magnifications.

Glass fiber reinforced polyester composites are economic and high-performance composite materialsthat has gained a wide range of applications. Besides the developments in composites design, scientific studies addressing the consequences of thermal changes on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced polymer composites(FRPCs) are scarce. Therefore, the main aim of the present work is to investigate the physical/mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced polyester composites under thermal shocks. The effects of thermal cycle duration (2, 5 and 20 hours) on the porosity and mechanical properties (maximum stress, strain, elastic modulus and impact resistance) of polymeric composites reinforced by glass fiber, woven fabric and copper/silica nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated. The results exhibited that the porosity and mechanical properties changed obviously in long duration cycles, i.e., 20 hours. Major reduction trends were observed when the fabric reinforced samples were further reinforced by NPs. It was concluded that although NPs reduce porosity and pose filling effect in composite matrix, can also provide stress concentration locations. The composites reinforced by woven fabric and prepared by RTM method provide better mechanical properties. Moreover, after thermal shocks, the fibers within the composite structure formed curved shapes. Consequently, a reduction occurred at the elastic modulus of fibrous reinforced composites (fiber or fabric) after thermal cycles. Besides theelevated porositywas the predominant factor reducing elastic modulus, fiber deformation was also considered as a hidden factor which has never been discussed in previous research studies. A model of bicomponent structure was used to explain the effects of fiber deformation on elastic modulus of the FRPCs.
