Abstract
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber/epoxy composites were fabricated by a vacuum assisted resin infused (VARI) processing technology. The curing condition of composites was at a cure temperature of 80 °C for 3h in a drying oven. The characteristics of 2.5D (shallow bend-joint and deep straight-joint) structure and 3D orthogonal structure were compared. The failure behavior, flexural strength, and microstructures of both composites were investigated. It was found that the flexural property was closely related to undulation angle θ. The flexural strength of 3D orthogonal structure composite was superior to the other two structures composites with the same weave parameters and resin.
