Abstract
Polymer composite with reinforced fiber is a remarkable development in the field of engineering materials. The applications of composite materials have significantly increased in Defense, Aeronautical and Automobiles because of its specific modulus and high strength characteristics. In composite material development, nano particles reinforcement and nano fiber reinforcement are the most recent methods developed. In this research electrospun carbon nanofiber reinforced mat with polymer epoxy resin composites was prepared. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and ultrasonic scanning were used to study the morphology and the defect on the specimens for analyzing the structural conditions of the samples for determining the mechanical properties. The result clearly indicates that the Carbon Nanofiber (CNF)/ Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) mat improves the flexural strength of the epoxy resin and that 0.015% CNF in PVA gives a better mechanical strength.
