Effects of Particle Size and Content of Alumina Filler on Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin Composite Materials
and micron alumina with different morphology and particle size was used as filler to design and prepare composites. By testing and analyzing the mechanical properties and microstructure of the composites
the influences of the morphology
particle size and content of alumina filler on the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin composites were studied
and the influence mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin composites increase first and then decrease with the increase of alumina filler content. When the filler is 5 μm spherical alumina particles and the vo
lume fraction of filler is 3.22%
the mechanical properties of the composite are better. The tensile strength and impact strength can reach 77.62 MPa and 13.92 kJ/m
2
respectively
which are 30.48% and 44.10% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. It can be observed from the microstructure that the alumina filler in the epoxy resin forms crazes around itself
which can absorb the external stress and improve the toughness of the composite. By observing the distribution of alumina filler in epoxy resin
it can be found that 5 μm spherical alumina particle has better distribution in epoxy resin and better interface with epoxy resin
which makes the composite has better mechanical properties.
