Abstract

The advancement in composite materials has changed the view of engineering world as it has the capability toreplacesome metals for important applications. Currently, there is demand for the new materials of different grades due to their significant mechanical properties. In this paper, mechanical properties are studied on mono composites prepared using synthetic fibres namely Carbon, S- Glass and Kevlar fibres as a potential reinforcing materials been reinforced withepoxy polymer matrix composites. The composite plates were prepared with a conventional hand layup process followed by compression moulding. The specimens were testedfor Density, fracture toughness, tensile, flexural,ILSS, hardness and impact properties. According to the findings, carbon fibre reinforced epoxy matrix composites have superior characteristics than other mono composites.
