Effect of nanoclay (Kaolinite) on mechanical properties of epoxy-fiber composite

Abstract

An experimental investigation using drag-out tensile test to calculate the interfacial shear strength for different embedded lengths of Kevlar and carbon fibers reinforced epoxy matrix with nanoclay (kaolinite) for different ratio weight, the interfacial shear strength increased by with increasing of embedded length and ratio weight fraction of nanoclay that adding to epoxy matrix.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31257/2018/JKP/2020/120106
