According to a study from Kharagpur, India, "The E glass woven fabrics have been used as a reinforcing agent with amine terminated poly(ethylene glycol) benzoate (ATPEGB) modified epoxy as a matrix, for the preparation of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites. The composite materials so obtained were subjected to dynamic mechanical analysis at a fixed frequency of 1Hz."
"The volume fraction of glass was about 0.45. The concentration of ATPEGB in the matrix was varied gradually from 0 to 30 phr (phr stands for parts per hundred parts of resin). To investigate the effect of ATPEGB concentration on the dynamic mechanical properties of the composites, it was ...
