Analysing the Impact Strength of Polymer Composite Materials (PCM) Fiber Reinforced in the Fiberboat Application

Abstract

The mechanical qualities of fiberglass-reinforced Polymer Composite Materials (PCM) are critical for fibre boat construction. Mechanical testing is very important for fiber boat. The Impact test was used to determine the mechanical properties of this study. Each test was carried out on different amounts of fibreglass lamination CSM 300, CSM 450 and WR 600, as well as different weight percentages  of 99.5% -0.5%, 99% -1%, 98.5% -1 , 5%, 98% -2% and 97.5% -2.5%. The results reveal that the more laminate used, the higher the impact strength (413,712 MPa), and the higher the percentage hardener used, the higher the impact strength 2.0 wt.- percent (416,487 MPa).
