Characterization of triboluminescent enhanced glass fiber composites manufactured via displaced foam dispersion technique

Abstract

This paper discusses the manufacture and characterization of triboluminescent (TL) multifunctional composites made via the novel displaced foam dispersion (DFD) technique. TL crystals are encapsulated in polystyrene (PS) foams in 0, 2, 4 and 50wt% loadings. The PS-TL foams are integrated into glass fiber laminates and the shear properties are observed. It was found that the introduction of PS foam into glass fiber laminates decreased the shear properties. However, the integration of PS-TL foams leads to an increase in shear properties when compared to glass fiber specimens containing only PS foams.
