Abstract

In this paper, the silica ( SiO2) nanoparticles were applied to the Neat  epoxy, reinforced with five layers of E-glass fibers (CSM) chopped strand sheet ."The Hand lay-up" way was applied  to equip the composites with a diverse percentage of weight (0.5, 1 and 2 percent wt Separation of SiO2 nanoparticles in the interlayer of epoxy resin / glass fiber has been tested with X-ray iffraction..  Mechanical properties   of the equipped Nano composites were examined as Tensile ,bending ,hardness, impact testing. The test result showed an   enhancement in the mechanical characterization of the mixture which show  increase in  the strength when subjected to  tensile, bending, hardness and the best result  when the adding of  SiO2 at the same quantity (1%wt. ). Electron microscopy scanning (SEM), investigated the morphology and microstructure of composite nanoparticles and fiberglass surfaces , Elementary study with the detector for energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy ( EDS); the chemical sets were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR)
