Abstract
As the engineering polymers are initiated to use in most of the critical structural applications analysis of fracture toughness behaviour of polymeric materials has become important in recent years. This review article gives an insight about effect of various parameter on fracture toughness polymer composites. It comprises the various test methods of fracture toughness and describes the utmost important parameters effect on fracture toughness of polymer matrix composites. Fracture toughness of polymer matrix composites mainly depends on type of constituents used as matrix and reinforcement. Addition of fillers modifies the mechanical properties and fracture toughness of polymer matrix composites. In addition to material parameters, operating temperature, thickness also plays the crucial role on fracture toughness of polymer composites. This article gives the comprehensive review on parameters which effects the fracture toughness of polymer composites.
