Abstract

The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of carbon micro particles used as epoxy resin fillers, for the mechanical properties of reinforced composites unidirectionally oriented carbon fibers. The motivation for this work was expansion knowledge of the possibilities of improving the user properties of these materials at maintaining their weight, thus finding new areas for application recycled carbon fibers from composite waste, which would also contribute to the solution issues of recycling and subsequent use of today's mostly landfilled composites. This work deals with the influence of carbon fillers embedded in epoxy resin on tensile and flexural properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CFRE) composites. Samples were made from unidirectional carbon multifilaments, and epoxy resin modified with selected carbon fillers in 2.5weight% concentrations. Composites were subsequently examined using flexural and tensile tests. All specimen filled with carbon particles showed increase of both, flexural and tensile properties, if compared to neat epoxy composites.
