Functionalization of Endless Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymers Through Incorporating FeSi Particles
摘要
To functionalize and adjust certain material properties the addition of micro- or nanoparticles to composite materials is a well-known method. Various filler materials and particle sizes can be used and added to different matrix materials to improve for instance mechanical, thermal, electrical or electromagnetic properties. This study investigates failure mechanisms and the short beam strength of ferrosilicon-filled endless glass fiber-reinforced polymers. The fundamental influences are investigated through the manufacturing of a sample series with three particle types and five different particle contents. The material composition in each specimen is analyzed using density measurements and the fiber to filler ratio. The short beam strength is determined according to DIN EN 2377 and DIN EN ISO 14130.
