Abstract
In this study, the mechanical and tribological properties of unidirectional glass fiber/polyester resin and unidirectional carbon fiber / polyester resin composite materials reinforced with boron particles have been investigated by experimental methods. Composite sheets were produced by hand lay-up method using polyester resin mixed with boroxide particles (H3BO3) with a specific gravity of 1.51 g/cm3 and a molecular weight of 61.83 g/mol, which were utilized as boron particles. As particle reinforcement, 1%, 5% and 10% boron oxide polyester resin mixture was obtained. The effects of particle reinforcement on mechanical and tribological properties were investigated. As a result of the experimental studies, it was determined that, due to the increase in the particle ratio, the wear resistance increased by between the ratios 5% and 50% in some samples compared to the samples not reinforced with boroxide particles and the tensile strength improved up to 32% in some samples.
Highlights
Due to the decreasing resources and increasing needs, the discovery and development of new materials in harmony with the developing technology have emerged in order to meet those needs
Venkatesh Vijayaraghavan et al [6] presented a comprehensive study with the help of molecular dynamic analysis of tensile loading mechanics of polyethylene (PE) nano composites reinforced with boron nitride (BN)-C nano layers
The tribological and mechanical properties of the composite materials was experimentally investigated as the effect of the addition of boric acid in various additive ratios to the matrix material
Summary
Due to the decreasing resources and increasing needs, the discovery and development of new materials in harmony with the developing technology have emerged in order to meet those needs. In addition to the fibers used, it is possible to use various particles by adding them to polymer matrix composite materials because their properties such as wear resistance, rigidity and bending strength are not good enough. Navaneethakrishnana et al [5] prepared boron nitride (BN) / epoxy nano composites containing different percentages of BN particles by liquid casting process They analyzed the mechanical properties of composites such as hardness, tensile, bending and impact strength. Venkatesh Vijayaraghavan et al [6] presented a comprehensive study with the help of molecular dynamic analysis of tensile loading mechanics of polyethylene (PE) nano composites reinforced with BN-C nano layers They observed that the geometry and lattice arrangement of BN - C nano layers affect the tensile load properties of nano
