Abstract
FRPs are widely used in many engineering fields due to their high specific stiffness and specific strength. Nanofibers have 1-1000 nm in diameter and their lengths are 100 times more than the fiber diameters. The nanofibers have superior properties such as a high specific surface area, a nano sized effect and a supramolecular effect. The aim of study is to apply the nanofibers to FRPs in order to improve their mechanical properties. In this study, the nanofibers were generated from PA6 by using an electro spinning apparatus and the PA6 nanofibers were used in the FRPs composed of glass fibers fabrics as the reinforcement and UP as the matrix. In order to confirm the effects of the nanofibers, the tensile tests of GFRP without and with PA6 nanofibers were carried out. As a result, the tensile properties were almost the same.
