Abstract

In today's world, hybrid polymer matrix composite is an extremely important component in manufacturing automobiles, aircraft, and sporting goods. This research paper describes the development of epoxy-based hybrid polymer composites (HPC) through a hand-lay technique. Hybrid polymer composite consists of Epoxy resin, E-glass fiber as reinforced materials, and Al2O3/SiC as filler material. The fabrication of a hybrid polymer composite with an equal proportion of Al2O3/SiC during which epoxy resin and hardener are mixed in 10:1 proportion. The tensile and flexural strength were investigated in this study. Experiment findings show that composite with four wt.% of Al2O3/SiC has optimum tensile and flexural behavior. It has an ultimate tensile strength of 170.84 MPa and flexural strength of 162.56 MPa, which is desirable in applications where epoxy-based composites are typically utilized, such as in tennis and badminton rackets.
