Impact of Glass Fibers concentration in Linear Low-Density Polyethylene on Mechanical and Thermal Properties
2026
Overview
Composite materials, particularly glass fiber-reinforced polymers, are widely used in marine engineering due to their lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant properties. These materials are commonly employed in the construction of hulls, decks, and superstructures, improving vessel performance and durability in harsh marine environments. With ongoing advancements in materials science and a growing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials, the use of components like polyethylene reinforced with glass fibers has increased significantly. This study focuses on a detailed analysis of glass fiber-reinforced linear low-density polyurethane composites. To evaluate the material properties, standard manufacturing techniques such as extrusion and injection molding were employed. The study also examines the interaction between the polymer matrix and the glass fibers, highlighting how each influences the other’s performance. Notches of varying depths—0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm—were introduced. The results show that as the notch size increases, the tensile strength of the composite decreases, while thermal properties improve. Additionallyr, the heat deflection temperature (HDT) increases as the glass fiber content rises from 41.10 °C to 41.60°C. Additionally, the effect of different glass fiber percentages within the polymer matrix on the overall mechanical and thermal performance of the composite was thoroughly investigated.
