EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENTS COMBINATION ON THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC (GRP) HANDLA Y -UP LAMINATES UNDER INCREASED TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS

A number of hand lay-up GRP laminates of E-glass are produced in various reinforcements combinations. Careful record of their strength tested under room temperature is tabulated against each corresponding laminate. A close study of these results show that their laminate strength varied considerably from initial values, Strength of some combinations increased with increasing temperatures whereas those of some others dropped under the same increased temperature conditions. Investigations into finding suitable explanations for these strange behaviours by the afore-stated laminates remain in progress.
