The nfluence of Ceria Oxide as filler Material on e-glass fiber/epoxy Reinforced Hybrid Composites

Abstract

This paper describes the mechanical characterization of particulate filled hybrid composites. The work is carried out to know the influence of filler material and to fabricate a new class of composites. The filler material is varied based on weight fraction i.e. 1%, 2% &3%. The mechanical properties such as Tensile, Flexural & Rockwell hardness are compared with unfilled composite. The testing is conducted as per the ASTM standards. The rare earth material is used as the filler material. Among the four different class of composites, the composite C3 had better results.
