Processing and Characterisation of Epoxy-SiC Functionally Graded Polymer Matrix Composites

This paper proposed preparing and investigating the Epoxy-Silicon carbide composite for aerospace applications. In recent years aerospace industries concentrated in low weight, high strength and high thermal resistance materials. Polymer matrix composite can provide a better solution for the statement mentioned above. This study thermosetting study Epoxy and SiC materials have mixed in centrifugal casting with the ratio of 5%-SiC and resin. The microstructural evaluation is carried by Scanning Electron microscopic and investigating the tensile and hardness properties of the Epoxy- SiC Functionally Graded Polymer Matrix Composites. The wear and fracture analyse were investigated, and the results were discussed. the results show the SiC has provided the higher strength for composite, and its mixing percentage has control the weight of the polymer composite.
