Keywords: epoxy, water absorption and fracture toughness. Filler is widely used to improve the mechanical properties of epoxy which is used as an adhesive. Some fillers have advantages and disadvantages so that filler hybridization can reduce the deficiency of each filler. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in water absorption in various hybrid filler compositions (fl…
Composites have been widely used in the aircraft and marine industry. In operation composites are often exposed to water, causing degradation of its mechanical properties. This research purpose is to determine the effect of water on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of the composite fiberglass soaked using the media and different time. The specimens were stored using two types of …
