摘要
A UV-curable glass fiber-reinforced composites was investigated in order to develop a cost-effective fabrication approach for manufacturing polymer-matrix composites. The effects of glass fiber-treating process and UV exposure power on the tensile strength were studied through scanning electron microscopy, contact angle determination, and curing degree test. The experimental results showed 11.5% increase in tensile strength for the UV-cured composite reinforced with heat-treated glass fiber, and 51.4% increase with glass fiber treated by coupling agent. The optimal exposure power was 0.94 J/mm(2) to obtain the optimized mechanical properties. However, overexposure could seriously result in the loss of tensile strength. The maximum tensile strength and shear strength of composite cured by UV approach in this study were 902.09 and 25.04 MPa, respectively.
