Abstract:
The coupling agent modified graphene oxide (GO) was added into phenolic resin to prepare basalt fabric reinforced phenolic composites. The influence of graphene oxide mass fraction on the mechanical and impact properties of basalt fabric reinforced phenolic composites was investigated. The results show that the addition of GO increases the flexural strength, modulus and interlaminar strength (ILSS) of the basalt fabric reinforced phenolic composites. The maximum flexural strength and modulus are obtained at the GO mass fraction of 2wt%, which is increased by nearly 39% and 25%, respectively. The maximu mimpact load and damage absorbed energy increase by 40% and 60%, respectively, after adding 1wt% GO.
