Improving the tensile and flexural properties of reinforced epoxy composites by using cobalt filled and carbon/glass fiber

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the study concentrates on the flexural and tensile characteristics of the cobalt filler and fiber-reinforced epoxy composites used in the car body parts. Glass fiber (GF) and carbon fiber (CF) filled with the epoxy compound were prepared by hand lay-up varying the percentage...
