| Abstract | This paper presents the mechanical properties of polyether-sulfone (PES) filled basalt and glass fibre reinforced polymer composites. Three different weights of PES powder with 1, 3, and 5 wt.% were dispersed into resin using a mechanical stirrer before being impregnated into woven basalt and glass fibre composite laminates. Eight different composite systems were fabricated and tested under tensile and flexural loading according to ASTM D3039 and D790. The result deduced that the inclusion of PES enhanced the mechanical properties for both Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) and Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites. In BFRP composite systems, adding 5wt.% of PES (5BF/PES) showed the highest tensile strength and modulus with 47% and 51% increment compared to neat BFRP. In GFRP composite systems, the inclusion of 3 wt.% PES (3GF/PES) showed an improvement of 34% for tensile strength and 5wt.% PES inclusion (5GF/PES) indicated the highest improvement of tensile modulus 106% as compared to neat GFRP. For flexural strength, a similar trend of improvement was found in BFRP and GFRP composite systems. The 5BF/PES showed improvement of 148% and 121% for flexural strength and flexural modulus, compared to neat BFRP. For GFRP composite systems, the 3GF/PES showed the highest flexural strength while 5GF/PES showed the highest flexural modulus of 39% and 71% improvement, compared to neat GFRP. |
