In this work, the influence of reinforcements on the mechanical properties of epoxy
composites was studied and compared. Reinforcements, like titanium oxide (TiO2),
Yttrium oxide (Y2O3), and fiber glass, were added with different volume fraction (2.5, 5,
10, 15 and 20) % of the epoxy resin. Different mechanical tests are achieved to evaluate
mechanical properties of composite such as; tensile, compression, hardness and impact
test. The results revealed that, maximum tensile and yield strength were obtained at (5%)
volume fraction of TiO2, which increase the tensile strength (34.7%) and yield strength
(40.1%) as compare with other reinforcements", while in compression test, (10%) volume
fraction of fiber glass increase compression strength (14.48%) and yield strength (15%)
as compared with other reinforcements. Higher hardness number was found at TiO2
which increase about (48%) as compare with epoxy composite. Impact strength was
observed to be decreased by increasing volume fraction ratio up to (10%) for all
reinforcements.
