Abstract

The interlaminar fracture of Mode-II delamination and flexural behavior of carbon- and aramid-fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE and AFRE) composites filled with silicon carbide (SiC) particles were investigated. End-notched flexure tests were performed to obtain their Mode-II fracture toughness properties with the aim to enhance the Mode-II delamination behavior of both the composites. The results obtained showed that SiC particles improve the delamination and the flexural characteristics of AFRE-SiC composites more than those of CFRE-SiC composites. The highest values of their Mode-II delamination toughness were obtained at 5 wt.% of SiC particles. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the particles increase the adhesion strength between the matrix and fibers, reduce the interlayer region, and hinder the formation of plastic zones.
