Abstract

The Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness and the interlaminar fracture behavior of glass woven fabric-reinforced vinylester composites containing five different fibre surface treatments are studied. The interlaminar shear strengths of the composites are found to be affected by the type and concentration of silane coupling agents applied onto the glass woven fabrics. The effects of temperature and hygrothermal ageing on the interlaminar properties are also studied.
