Abstract
ENHANCEMENT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS REINFORCING BY HYBRID COMPOUND SUCH AS RUBBER CRUMBS AND NANO GRAPHENE
*Karrar A. Handoul and Ahmed A. Taher
ABSTRACT
Polymeric composite materials consist of a matrix and fibers, and the properties of these compounds can be improved by adding hybrid compound such as rubber crumbs and nano-graphene. Where we worked in this research to add glass fibers to the epoxy once and twice, i.e. in different proportions, where one layer was equivalent to 10% by weight of the weight of the polymeric material, and two layers consisted of 20% by weight of the polymeric material, then a hybrid compound consisting of 1% nanographene with 20% rubber particles were added. The results showed that when this hybrid compound was added to the polymeric compound, it significantly improved the mechanical properties, where the percentage of improvement in maximum stress reached 36% and the percentage of increase in impact strength to 235%.
