Abstract | This paper contrasts the loss tangent, durability of reinforcement and the lap shear strengths of 33 percent by weight random glass fibre reinforced low density polyethylene matrix composite [LDPE/GF (33%)] with 33 percent by weight random carbon fibre reinforced low density polyethylene matrix composite [LDPE/CF (33%)] bonded using microwave irradiation. Fixed (2.45 GHz) and variable (2-18 GHz) frequency microwave (VFM) facilities are used to bond the two composites. With a given power level, the composites were exposed to various exposure times to microwave irradiation. The primer or coupling agent used for joining the glass-fibre-reinforced composite was 5-minute two-part adhesive, Araldite. No filler was used in joining the carbon-fibre-reinforced composite. |
