STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYPHENELENE SULPHIDE (PPS) COMPOSITE WITH DIFFERENT FILLER MATERIAL

Mechanical

This work describes composite materials fabrication was carried out and their compressive and shear properties was tested. Three types of materials were studied: first PPS, PPS with 30 % glass fiber, and second,PPS with 30 % carbon fiber. Tests were performed on the universal testing machine. The specimens are fabricated by using micro- compounder with micro injection molding machine. As a result of experimental tests, it was established that polymer composite with poly-phenylene sulphide matrix, carbon fibers and glass fiber exhibit good compression and shear properties. The effect on the compression and shear nature of PPS polymer composites has been improved, with addition of 30% Glass Fiber (GF) and 30% Carbon Fiber (CF). It is found that the reinforcing and toughening effects of the PPS hybrid composites are increased by adding 30% GF and 30% CF.The tensile strength, tensile strain, young’s modulus and energy at maximum load of these composites increased non-linearly with the addition of the 30% GF and 30% CF.
