Abstract

Aramid and carbon Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used in automotive and aerospace industries, due to high-strength and low-density. The development of FRP composite material is needed to achieve higher mechanical properties of FRP in aerospace fabrication, especially for the performance of FRP composite exposed to elevated temperatures. This study experimentally examined the effects of elevated temperature on mechanical and morphological properties of aramid and carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy/MWCNT. The tensile test was conducted at room-temperature, 50°C, and 120°C. DGEBA and MWCNT dispersed and combined of aramid and carbon fiber by vacuum infusion method, and characterization by ultimate tensile machine (UTM) within heating by thermostatic chamber, and morphological test by scanning electron microscope, and optical microscope. The result showed incorporating MWCNT on CFRP composites improved the ultimate tensile strength, elongation at fracture, and elastic modulus of 13.88%, 11.46%, and 7.5%, respectively, at 120°C tensile test temperature. CFRP/MWCNT showed a tensile strength increase of 18.26% and 34.08% at 50°C and 120°C tensile test temperatures, respectively. Aramid fiber reinforced epoxy/MWCNT showed a tensile strength decrease of 10.71% and 12.49% at 50°C and 120°C. Morphologically, CFRP showed a great brittle failure than aramid fiber-reinforced epoxy/MWCNT. Moreover, MWCNT reduces debonding of CFRP at elevated temperatures. Therefore, this study is expected to be a reference for composite materials used and replace the metal domination in rocket components for the preparation of manufacturing rocket components at Research Organization for Aeronautics and Space, Deputy for Research, and Innovation Infrastructure.
