Abstract

This paper assesses the mechanical properties of horse hair strengthened epoxy composites. The impact of fiber stacking and length on mechanical properties like hardness, flexibility, impact strength and wear of composites is investigated. Trials were facilitated on polymer composites with horse hair fiber in different contents i.e. 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% and with moving length of horse hair i.e. 1.5, and 3 cm. By testing of composites, it is clear that there is a basic effect of horse hair reinforcement on the mechanical properties of composites. The test outcomes are shown and conclusions are drawn.
