Experimental study on mechanical properties for a three - phase polymer composite reinforced by glass fibers and titanium oxide particles

Abstract

Nowadays, composite materials are applied in many fields. The physico - mechanical properties of the material can be improved by adding reinforced fibers and particles. Many scientists pay attention to the calculation for elastic modules of three - phase composite materials. This report presents the experimental results for some elastic modules of three - phase polymer composite reinforced with glass fibers and titanium oxide particles of different volume ratios. A comparison between experimental and theoretical results shows good agreement.
Key words:  Three - phase composite (polyester, glass fiber, titanium oxide), elastic modulus, experimental.
