Mechanical properties and morphology of UV-cured glass fiber/epoxy acrylates composite / Mohamad Hafiz Mohd. Wahid

The performance of the UV - cured glass fiber/epoxy acrylates composites has been investigated. Preliminary formulation of epoxy acrylates resin mixtures was done to select the most suitable formulation for this study. The woven glass fiber was used as the reinforcement in the composite and the laye...
