Abstract
The developed polymer matrix composites are considered to be promising materials for low weight applications. Fibrous reinforced polymer matrix composite have high tensile strength, cross breaking strength and shear strength when compared with particle reinforced composite. Fibrous and particle reinforced composites were prepared with general polyester and epoxy as matrices. Under hand layup process the SiC particles were uniformly distributed in matrix and E-glass fibrous composites with G.P. and Epoxy were prepared. The tensile strength, cross breaking strength and shear strength values were evaluated. These values are higher for fibrous reinforced composite materials than particle reinforced composite material because of the tensile property of E-glass fibre. This E-glass fibre is best suitable reinforcement for composite materials with epoxy matrix. Because of the abrasive resistance of the SiC particles, the abrasive resistance of the composite material was increased.
