Microstructural analysis of Bulk Molding Compounds and correlation with the flexural strength
Апстракт
In this study, the influence of the glass fiber (GF) content on the
microstructure and flexural strength of bulk molding compounds (BMCs) is
investigated. Three sets of BMCs with different weight fractions of GF
(5/10/12.5 wt%) were commercially prepared and compression molded into test
specimens. The microstructure of the composites was analysed by scanning
electron microscopy and further quantitatively characterized by Voronoi analysis
in order to define the degree of the fiber distribution homogeneity. The
experimental results were compared to the modelled microstructures. The results
revealed that the fiber distribution in the composite with 5 wt% of GF is
considered as the most homogeneous. Through the obtained microstructural
descriptors, the fiber weight content and their distribution were correlated to the
flexural strength of BMCs. The flexural strength was the highest for the
composite with 10 wt% of GF.
