“…Various thermosetting and thermoplastic resin systems are used by researchers for processing nanoclay/polymers. Among them, Nylon-6 [9-12, 63, 69] and Epoxy [6,21,26,66,68] systems have received much more attentions than Polyester [58], Polyimid [58], PU 3 [65,67], and PP 4 [61,64]. An overall picture of conducted experimental studies on nanoclay/ polymer is presented in Table 3.…”

“…The further development of clay/polymer nanocomposites is essentially in need of proper understanding of their mechanical behavior and properties. The majority of studies in literature concentrated on processing and/or experimental characterizations of clay/polymer nanocomposites [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and less attention has been given to the predictive tools for obtaining their mechanical properties. Consequently, the establishment of accurate and reliable technique for predicting mechanical properties of this recent class of materials plays a key role in materializing their potential industrial applications.…”

A literature review is conducted on performed investigations for characterizing Young's modulus of nanoclay platelet as the reinforcing agent of nanoclay/polymer nanocomposites from both experimental and theoretical aspects. The observed discrepancies in the reported results are discussed accordingly. All available investigations for predicting mechanical properties of nanoclay reinforced polymers are also reviewed. The employed methods in ongoing studies are categorized into three groups as atomistic, continuum and multiscale modeling techniques. Those challenging issues which are still in need of more accurate understanding and discussion are identified and outlined through a gap analysis on current investigations. The introduced shortcomings can be considered as prospective research areas for the future studies in the field of estimating mechanical properties of nanoclay based composites. POLYM.

Estimation of Lamina Stiffness and Strength of Quadriaxial Non-Crimp Fabric Composites Based on Semi-Laminar Considerations

Quadriaxial non-crimp fabric (QNCF) composites are increasingly being used as primary structural materials in aircraft and automotive applications. Predicting the mechanical properties of QNCF lamina is more complicated compared with that of unidirectional (UD) composites, because of the knitting connection of different plies. In this study, to analyze the stiffness and strength of the QNCF composites, a novel modeling strategy for the meso-scale features is presented based on the semi-laminar assumption. Following the view of the mechanical properties of single composite lamina, the complex QNCF layer is decomposed into individual plies. Three different representative unit cells along fiber direction are selected to predict the mechanical performance of QNCF, including in-plane stiffness, damage initiation, and stiffness degradation. To validate the developed modeling strategy, the predictions are compared with existing experimental results, where a good agreement is presented on the prediction of in-plane stiffness and strength. Furthermore, the effect of in-plane fiber distortion, induced by the stitching yarn on the mechanical properties, is studied.

“…Among the nanofillers used as reinforcement, nanosilica stands out because it offered a very significant enhancement in mechanical and thermal properties of fibre reinforced polymer composites as well as good dispersion in the epoxy resin [16][17]. Example of fibre reinforced polymer composites utilizing nanosilica-filled epoxies demonstrated that the compressive strength and stiffness of carbon fibre reinforced polymer improved with increasing number of nanosilica content without significant reduction in failure strain [18][19]. In other work, a study reported that nanosilica had shown good dispersion with the epoxy and enhancing the interlaminar shear strength as well as flexural strength compared to other fillers, thus improving the matrix properties [20].…”

In this study, the effect of silica nanoparticles as the reinforcing filler on the tensile response of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite was investigated. A 40 wt.% nanosilica gel in epoxy was used to prepare a series of nanocomposites with 5 wt.%, 15 wt.% and 25 wt.% nanosilica. Static uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on the basalt fibre reinforced polymer composite to investigate the stress‐strain response of the unmodified and nanomodified composites. It was found that the incorporation of silica nanoparticles with high specific surface area improved the tensile properties of the basalt fibre reinforced polymer composite. The addition of silica nanoparticles in the composite shows significant improvement in tensile modulus with 6 %, 14 % and 19 % for 5 wt.%, 15 wt.% and 25 wt.% nanosilica content, respectively. The higher content of silica nanoparticles in the matrix increased the stiffness of the material as well as the strength of the basalt fibre reinforced polymer composite without reducing the failure strain.
