Abstract

A hybrid laminate of carbon nanotubes effects on mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, and hardness) by changing the fiber orientation. In the present paper, fabrication of glass fiber reinforced of 1% CNT-based laminated composite with varying the orientation of reinforced fiber were prepared by hand layup technique on percentage of volume. Three different samples were fabricated by varying the orientation of woven-roving glass mat in parallel to fiber orientation, with angle 45° and with angle 135° to fiber direction. The study used to compare the effect of mechanical properties among the different orientations of fiber in order to improve the strength and toughness, fabrication is done by using E glass fiber of woven roving. The results of tensile strength, percentage of elongation, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and hardness of the composite were compared by statistical results and found to be in good agreement. However, the highest values, respectively, suggesting fiber orientation for effective and maximum stress transfer in laminated composite.
