Considering the massive employment of sandwich panels in multifarious applications, numerous research studies have been conducted on their impact resistance enhancement, one of which, is via simultaneous nanoparticles incorporation including various amounts of silica nanoparticles, clay nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in to sandwich panels, composed of two glass fiber epoxy composite face sheet and polyvinyl chloride core to render them reinforced. The research objective is to experimentally scrutinize the behavior of nano reinforced sandwich panels under low-velocity impact test conducted at different energy levels. The damaged areas of the panels were investigated via scanning electron microscopy, the result of which demonstrated that the impact resistance of the sandwich panel can be improved by the integration of nanoparticles. The incorporation of 0.3% of CNT, 1% of nano clay, and 3% of nano silica enhanced maximum contact force by 18.6%, compared to the unreinforced equivalent.Increasing the weight fraction of both CNTs and silica nanoparticles, made contribution to sandwich panels impact resistance increase. The presence of nano clay up to 1 wt% improved the maximum contact force; however, the integration of it into matrix more than 1 wt% led to the reduction of maximum contact force, thus weakened the impact resistance of sandwich panel.

“…As a result, the three parameters (load = 30 N, speed = 100 rpm, sliding distance = 50 m) represented an ideal combination for potential use of jute-coir composites with eggshell powder and nanoclay fillers for use in automotive components that required relative motion, such as brushes, washers, and spacers. In this case, the ceramic fillers may compete with a hardening function typically played in natural fiber composites for wear-resistant structures by the introduction of silica [39]. In general terms, introduction of natural fibers, such as, e.g., kenaf [40], jute [41], or coir [42], does improve the wear characteristics of unsaturated polyester resins.…”

The wear performance of jute/coir unsaturated polyester composites, filled with eggshell powder (ESP) and nanoclay (NC), were examined, concentrating on two measured parameters, coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate (WR). To assess the possibilities of this material, a Taguchi study, based on grey relational analysis (GRA), was carried out, based on three testing parameters of the wear performance, load (10, 20, and 30 N), speed (100, 150, and 200 rpm), and sliding distance (30, 40, and 50 m). The material showed promising characteristics especially at high load, low speed, and high sliding distance. When comparing the respective influence of the three different parameters, the speed proved to be the most critical, this suggested the possible application of the biocomposite only for very low values of it. On the other hand, it was also elucidated that the presence and interfacial adhesion of the two fillers considerably hindered the formation of ploughing during wear test, despite the fact that degradation might be continuous and critical as far as loading progresses.

The accelerating growth in the utilization of industrial waste to prepare sustainable material is gaining interest of researchers globally owing to their synergistic effect with enhanced performance and cost-effective approach. This study mainly discussed the development of hybrid polymer composites by partial replacement of steel fiber in place of synthetic glass fiber to investigate the slurry erosion performance in an erosive environment. Initially, fabrication of hybrid glass/steel fiber reinforced polymer composites with different weight percentages (38, 37, 36, 35 wt%) glass fiber and (11, 12, 13, 14 wt%) steel fiber are fabricated through vacuum assisted resin transfer modeling (VARTM) technique. After that, steady-state slurry erosion performance analysis is carried out by varying impact velocity (10-40 m/s), fiber loading (4:1 to 10:4), impingement angle (30 -90 ), and slurry concentration (160-265 g/min) respectively in the slurry erosive environment. The observation indicates that at steady-state conditions the maximum erosion rate lies within the range of 45 -75 by varying the impingement angle whereas the other factors remain constant. The experimental results are validated with different theoretical models as well as a numerical simulation model using computational fluid dynamics approach. Finally, Taguchi's design of experimental analysis (L 16 orthogonal array design) is studied by varying all the four factors at-a-time to get the erosion rate of the hybrid composites. At the end, the simulated results depicted a clear picture of erodent particle trajectories, eroded surface, and streamlines, and all are in good agreement with the experimental results.
