Özet

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact behavior of plain weave (PW) S-2 glass fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastic composites with different layers and thicknesses. The amount of impact toughness and absorbed energy of the composite materials during fracture as an impact modifier has been studied. Impact tests were performed with a Charpy impact tester on specimens with V-notches. The values of impact toughness and impact energy, which were obtained from each group of six specimens, were shown to depend on number of layers, volume fraction, and hence on processing. © The Author(s) 2012 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav.
