Abstract
The laminates were characterized by tensile mechanical tests that evidenced an overall enhancement of maximum stress and deformation for the hybrid composites. In particular, results demonstrated an improvement of 10% for the shear failure stress and of 110% for the shear failure strain. Further, impact tests were carried out at penetration, to evaluate the improvement of the impact resistance over the conventional epoxy resin system, and at increasing energy levels, 5 J, 10 J and 20 J, to investigate the damage start and propagation. A higher indentation has been observed for the modified composite samples related with a lower delamination extension.
