Abstract
FRP composite has become one of the most preferred materials in lightweight applications. Design freedom is a key
benefit which is reflected in the choice of fibres, stacking sequence and others. Hybridisation of hard inorganic fibre and
organic ductile fibres can lead to synergetic effects. In this paper, an interlayer hybrid curved laminated composite
reinforced with woven Kevlar and basalt fabrics and manufactured by a hand lay-up process with epoxy resin was
prepared. Experimental investigation on the flexural and impact properties of composite laminates has been performed.
The results of the investigation showed that the placement of Kevlar fibres on the impact side can increase the impact
and flexural strengths, sample H3 (K3B2K3B2) has the highest impact strength and absorbed energy among seven
hybrid laminates, valued at 92.89 KJ/m2 and 2.48 KJ. Compared with H5(B4K6) improved 41.6% and 40.9%,
respectively. However, H5 has the highest flexural strength, reaching 231.7 MPa. In addition, the use of basalt fabric
on the impact reverse side or multi-layer hybrid structuring further improves the impact properties of the materials.
A sandwich-structure composite with basalt layers in the middle and Kevlar layers on both sides shows further
improvement in the flexural properties.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
