Abstract Glass/Biofibers/Epoxy methacrylate of bisphenol-C (G/BF/EBCMAS) sandwich composites was
prepared by compression molding. G/BF/EBCMAS showed good mechanical and good to
excellent electrical properties and excellent chemical resistance. Studied properties are compared
with EBCMAS and G/EBCMAS. In comparison with G/EBCMAS, G/BF/EBCMAS showed
considerable decline of tensile strength (18-63.4%), flexural strength (18.8-38.7%), flexural
modulus (12.8-50.7%), Izod impact strength (17.4-43.5%), Barcol hardness (2.1-16.7%) and
dielectric strength (23.8-76.8%) except flexural strength of G/BM/EBCMAS. G/WC/EBCMAS
(96.7%), G/B/EBCMAS (79.2%), G/GN/EBCMAS (83.3%) and G/RH/EBCMAS (97.9%)
showed decline of volume resistivity, whereas other sandwich composites showed 1150-58233%
improvement. The decrease in mechanical properties and More >
