| Abstract: | Flax braided reinforced epoxy composites
have been prepared by vacuum assisted direct resin injection moulding method.
The prepared composites are then tested for flexural strength and flexural
modulus. The effect of sulphuric acid concentration and immersion time on the
diffusion behavior of the composite tubes has been studied. The result
indicates that the sulphuric acid has a significant effect on the diffusion
coefficient of the composites. With the increase in acid concentration, the
diffusion coefficient values decrease initially and later increase at higher
concentration. The flexural strength of the composites is found to be lower for
water immersed samples as compared to that for the control samples. |
