“…In some cases, only 1-5% nanoparticle content is needed to match selected properties of a microcomposite containing 20-40% filler [9,[12][13][14]. However, when the nanoparticles are not distributed evenly, agglomeration of the nanoparticles can occur and improvement in material properties may not be realized.…”

This study established the optimum conditions for structural synthetic polymer fiber manufacture to make a fiber having excellent tensile strength. Two polypropylene resins, differing in their melt indices, and four different draw ratio values were investigated, that is, 6, 7, 8, and 9, to establish which had the greatest influence on tensile strength. The tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity were measured for the manufactured fibers. In addition, nanoclay was added to polypropylene and polyolefin fibers to improve the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. The optimum mixing ratio and draw ratio of the synthetic polymer fibers were established prior to nanoclay addition. Fiber mixing ratios (polypropylene:-polyethylene) of 100:0, 90:10, and 85:15, a draw ratio of 8, and nanoclay additions of 1, 3, and 5 wt% were studied. The modulus of elasticity improved with nanoclay addition, while the tensile strength remained almost unchanged, except in the case of 100% polypropylene with 5 wt% nanoclay. POLYM.

“…It results in increase of tensile strength, percent of elongation and yield strength, moderate increase in Poisson ratio and reduced area. Chandradass et al [21] have studied the hybridization effect of nanoclay dispersion in vinyl ester-fiber composites and they have observed that mechanical, thermal and vibration properties were improved in nanoclay dispersed composites over vinyl ester-glass fiber composites. Jeena Jose Karippal et al [22] have studied the mechanical properties of epoxy/glass/nanoclay hybrid composites.…”

“…For instance, the addition of 3 wt. % nano clay on the E-glass/vinyl ester composite increased its tensile properties [28]. On the other hand, the tensile strength and modulus of 2D noncrimp biaxial E-glass/epoxy composites remain unchanged by the addition of 6 wt.…”

The aim of this study was to understand the warp-weft directional bending properties of the developed two-dimensional multistitched multilayer E-glass/polyester woven nano composites. The warp-weft directional specific bending strengths and modulus of unstitched/nano composite structures were higher than those of the unstitched structures. Contrarily, the warp-weft directional specific bending strengths and modulus of unstitched structure were higher than those of the machine stitched and machine stitched/nano structures due to stitching caused filament breakages. When the stitching direction increased, the warp-weft directional bending strengths and modulus of the structures decreased. The warp-weft directional specific damaged areas of unstitched structure were higher than those of the multistitched and multistitched/nano structures. The addition of nano silica to the stitched structures improved their damage resistance slightly. It was generally found that when the number of stitching directions and stitching density in structures increased, the damaged areas of structures decreased. The failure of warp-weft directional multistitched and multistitched/nano woven E-glass/polyester composite structures was matrix breakages, partial and complete filaments, and yarn (tow) breakages in their surfaces. They had a local delamination in their cross-sections and the delamination did not propagate to the large areas due to multiple stitching. The failure was confined at a narrow area due to multistitching and resulted in the catastrophic fiber breakages. This was considered that the damage tolerance performance of the multistitched structures was enhanced due to stitching, in particular, at four directional stitching.
