Experimental investigation of the flexure impact properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites

A polymer composite is a plastic material come from two or more material with different chemical properties. In this paper, is proposed to determine the flexure and impact properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites. The properties of fiber reinforced polymer composite depend on properti...
