Abstract
The flexible interphase in aramid/epoxy composites was investigated to enhance the impact response which is an advantage of aramid composites. Two kinds of procedures were performed to make flexible interphase using a flexible epoxy resin; one was sized with conventional epoxy resin and glycol acrylate and the other was coated with the mixture and a hardening catalyst using sol-gel method. Both composites showed higher impact energy absorption than that of the non-treated composite. The energy absorption increased with testing temperature. This was due to Tg of the flexible interphase.
