Abstract

Glass fiber reinforced polymer is the most popular composite used in engineering applications. The objective of this study is twofold. First, to develop glass fiber reinforced composites with synthetic and natural fillers, namely graphite and various wood fillers. Second, to characterize the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of such filler composites. This study clearly demonstrated that graphite filled glass fiber composites exhibit more mechanical and thermomechanical strengths compared the composite without a filler. Thermomechanical properties were studied by using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) test to know the viscoelastic behaviour of the composite materials.
