“…In a recent study by Sanchez et al [65] it was found that maximum increase in flexural strength was measured at lower concentration of pristine nanotubes and at high percentages of amino-functionalized nanotubes. Hence, if the concentration of ACNT is increased in the matrix it may further enhance the mechanical performance (more than PCNT/Epoxy/GF composite) of ACNT/Epoxy/GF composites in both stoichiometric and amine-rich resin systems.…”

“…He et al [23] investigated compressive strength of nano-calcium carbonate/epoxy and its fiber composites, revealing a noticeable improvement of 13.5% and 14.1%, increases in compressive strength, for the cured bulk epoxy matrix and its fiber composites filled with 4 wt.% nano-CaCO 3 . Sánchez et al [24] also observed large rises in the flexural strength when functionalized carbon nanotubes were added, with the improvement of 12% in flexural strength at CNT-NH 2 content of 0.3 wt.%.…”

Compressive properties are commonly weak parts in structural application of fiber composites. Matrix modification may provide an effective way to improve compressive performance of the composites. In this work, the compressive property of epoxies (usually as matrices of fiber composites) modified by different types of nanoparticles was firstly investigated for the following study on the compressive property of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites. Carbon fiber/epoxy composites were fabricated by vacuum assisted resin infusion molding (VARIM) technique using stitched unidirectional carbon fabrics, with the matrices modified with nanosilica, halloysite, and liquid rubber. Testing results showed that the effect of different particle contents on the compressive property of fiber/epoxy composites was more obvious than that in epoxies. Both the compressive and flexural results showed that rigid nanoparticles (nanosilica and halloysite) have evident strengthening effects on the compression and flexural responses of the carbon fiber composite laminates fabricated from fabrics.

“…Graphene based nanocomposites have been investigated for their superior electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties [10][11][12]. The incorporation of various nano-sized reinforcements into an epoxy matrix can maximize the advantages of structural composites [13][14][15]. Remarkable improvements in physical and mechanical properties of polymer composites have been reported upon the addition of a small amount of graphene [16][17][18].…”

In this work, nanocomposites of epoxy resin and chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were prepared by thermal curing process. X-ray diffractions confirmed the microstructural properties of RGO. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to evaluate the curing behaviors of RGO/epoxy nanocomposites with different RGO loading amounts. We investigated the effect of RGO loading amounts on the mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposites. It was found that the presence of RGO improved both flexural strength and modulus of the epoxy nanocomposites till the RGO loading reached 0.4 wt%, and then decreased. The optimum loading achieved about 24.5 and 25.7% improvements, respectively, compared to the neat-epoxy composites. The observed mechanical reinforcement might be an enhancement of mechanical interlocking between the epoxy matrix and RGO due to the unique planar structures.
