Abstract :
Due to increasing demand and widespread application of fiber reinforced polymer composites, they have been used in a variety of application like aerospace, automotive, sports, ships and constructional work. Because of their several advantages such as relatively low cost of production light weight, easy to fabricate and superior strength to weight ratio. In the present study, Mechanical behavior of the S-glass/epoxy composites with fiber orientation [0/90°] was investigated incorporating graphite filler within the common matrix of epoxy resin. Composite specimens for tensile, hardness, impact and flexural tests were prepared and tested according to ASTM standards with graphite filler of 5 and 7 wt.%. Graphite, a particulate refractory filler (relatively coarse) was used. Finally, the properties of S-glass/epoxy composite without filler was also compared with the filler included composite
