“…Within this class, the structure of the phenol-containing molecule and the number of phenol groups per molecule distinguish different types of resins and the final properties of monolithic epoxies and nanocomposites [ 2 ]. The epoxies have found some “high-end” applications, including aerospace, marine, automotive, high-performance sports equipment (such as tennis rackets), electronics, and industrial applications [ 46 ]. Due to the superior properties of carbonaceous materials, such as high strength and stiffness, they are most widely used at present as reinforcement in advanced Epoxy Matrix Composites (EMCs) [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

Monolithic epoxy, because of its brittleness, cannot prevent crack propagation and is vulnerable to fracture. However, it is well established that when reinforced-especially by nano-fillers, such as metallic oxides, clays, carbon nanotubes, and other carbonaceous materials-its ability to withstand crack propagation is propitiously improved. Among various nano-fillers, graphene has recently been employed as reinforcement in epoxy to enhance the fracture related properties of the produced epoxy-graphene nanocomposites. In this review, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of graphene reinforced epoxy nanocomposites will be correlated with the topographical features, morphology, weight fraction, dispersion state, and surface functionalization of graphene. The factors in which contrasting results were reported in the literature are highlighted, such as the influence of graphene on the mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites. Furthermore, the challenges to achieving the desired performance of polymer nanocomposites are also suggested throughout the article.

A recent development in the field of eco-friendly, lightweight and high-performance nanocomposite and a broad range of their innovative applications attract enormous interest in the field of research. However, the search for lighter materials to replace legacy heavy materials in engineering structures especially in automobile and aerospace industries has made the study of tribological properties of epoxy resin based composites significant. Fly ash, from the thermal power plant, is an industrial by-product that can be utilized as filler in epoxy resin with different wt% owing to its distinctive properties like low density, wide availability, good filler factor, good thermal resistance, and glassy nature instead of dumping into the large area of landfills and ash ponds. This review article presents an expanded literature overview on the utilization of industrial waste fly ash, as reinforcement for matrix in making lightweight, high strength composites. In this investigation broaden literature groundwork also covers the effect of nanoparticles on thermal, morphological and mechanical characteristics such as impact strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of fly ash/epoxy nanocomposites.

“…However, they show a high degree of brittleness having Young's modulus around 143 GPa and when they are used as reinforcement in polymers, the properties of composite system are highly propitious and currently carbon bre-polymer composite systems are extensively used in automotive, aerospace, sporting goods and textiles. [54][55][56][57][58][59] Glass bre is another brous reinforcement which is extensively used to produce polymer composite materials. One of the factors which led to widespread application of glass bre was the invention of proper heating and cooling technology which allowed its mass production.…”

The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media – a review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from only one material.Integration of reinforcement into polymers at the nanoscale can provide a significant increase in numerous physical and mechanical properties of polymer nano-composites. However, in applications where contact with liquid media is unavoidable, the mechanical properties of polymer nano-composites suffer degradation which is a commonly observed phenomenon. Non aggressive liquid such as water is capable of lowering the mechanical properties of polymer nano-composites by acting as plasticizers while moderate and severe aggressive liquid when combined with residual stresses can cause unexpected brittle failure known as ESC. To date, only a few studies are reported discussing the ability of nano-fillers to resist degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites when exposed to liquid media. In this review, various factors responsible for mechanical property degradation caused by liquid media in polymer nano-composites and their remedies are studied.
