Abstract

This study deals with the manufacture of composites (NRC) of synthetic fibre. Nylon acts as a reinforcement material in this type of composite, while epoxy resin acts as the matrix. A simple manual lay-up process followed by the compression moulding procedure was used to prepare the woven matted Nylon fibre epoxy laminated composite (NFMRLC). The composites consisted of matt woven nylon fibre and resin epoxy. Three plates (25% Nylonfiber + 75% Epoxy-resin + Hardener), (30% Nylon Fiber + 70% Epoxy-resin + Hardener) have been made (35% NY + 65% Epoxy-resin + Hardener). Three plates have been made. The tensile, flexural and impact mechanical properties were tested according to the ASTM standards. The experimental results of the three mechanical properties were taken. The plate of 35% has obtained higher values comparing to remaining two plates.
