Effect on the Impact Strength of Glass/Flax Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite with Novel Aluminum oxide+Glass Beads Nanoparticles

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the research is to investigate the impact strength of hybrid glass and flax fiber reinforced composite with and without novel Al₂O₃+glass beads nanoparticles filler materials. Materials and Methods: The hand lay-up method is used to make hybrid composites in two groups. Glass/Flax fiber reinforced epoxy composite without novel Al₂O₃+glass beads filler specimens as control group(CG) and glass/flax fiber reinforced epoxy composite with 4 wt.% novel Al₂O₃+glass beads filler specimens as experimental group(EG). The G power used for this process is 80%, α = 0.05 per set for calculating sample size of two groups and total sample size calculated is 40 using
