Experimental of Mechanical Properties in Glass Fiber by using Epoxy and Polyester Resin

Alkali Resistant Glass Fibers are designed specifically for use in concrete. It is made from a specially developed glass composition of zirconium dioxide which is appropriately used in concrete. It is to evaluate and compare the physical and mechanical properties of laminates prepared of different composition of Glass fiber. In this experiment, two specimens with different composition was taken and prepared by using hand layup method. Tensile test, Impact test and Brinell hardness test were carried out and their performances were evaluated. In this experiment, composite was subjected to water absorption test. From the result, property of two specimen was compared and analyzed.
