Abstract

In this study, mechanical properties of composite laminates reinforced with various forms of glass fibers have been investigated. Tensile testing, impact testing and optical microscopy and SEM analysis results were discussed. The results of glass fiber reinforced novel composite material have been compared with the results of a commercial car front bumper material tests performed in same conditions. Study concluds that glass fiber has positive hybridization effect and increased tensile strengths, elastic modules and impact strengths in laminar hybrid composites.
