The present study investigates the effect of halloysite clay nanotubes (HCNT S) on the mechanical properties of glass reinforced aluminum laminate (GLARE) as a very popular fiber metal laminate (FML). GLARE (3/2) with quasi-isotropic lay-up, [Al/[(0 /90)/(45 /−45)]s/Al/[(0 /90)/(45 /−45)]s/Al], filled with different wt% ofHCNTs (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) were fabricated using hand lay-up followed by compression molding. Tensile, flexural, and impact properties of the fabricated GLAREs were evaluated. The failure of the specimens was examined using field emissionscanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and visual inspection. Test results demonstrated that the incorporation of HCNTs improves the mechanical properties of GLARE. Among the studied wt%, the inclusion of 1 wt% of HCNTs to GLARE leads to maximum improvements of 35.67%, 8.50%, 28.85%, 50.47%, 50.27%, 30.43%, and 51.52% in tensile strength, tensile strain, Young's modulus, modulus of toughness, flexural strength, flexural strain, and impact strength, respectively, was attained by adding 1 wt% of HCNTs to GLARE compared to pristine GLARE. Meanwhile, increasing HCNT S content to 3 wt% reverse the trend. FESEM showed that, HCNT S are well dispersed in epoxy. However, a higher weight fraction of HCNT S in epoxy, that is, 3 wt% leads little agglomerations.

“…The usage of middle layer of nylon is to support the upper and lower layer, so that they drastically reduce the maximum stress and deformation of outer layer by increasing the moment of inertia of the sandwich beam. Based on the sandwich theory explained above, triple layer of nylon fabric epoxy composites withstand high stress during bending and good resistance to propagation of cracks compared to double layer of nylon fabric epoxy composites .…”

“…They have a better all around combination of properties than composites containing only a single filler type. A variety of filler combinations and matrix materials are used, but in most of the cases, two or more fillers are incorporated into a single matrix . Hybrid composites can be sandwich, inter‐ or intraply type or intimately mixed type.…”

Effect of hybridization and chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of coir pith/nylon/epoxy hybrid composites

2014

The aim of the work was to develop environmental friendly coir pith-based composites with a good balance of mechanical properties. Multilayered coir pith/ nylon fabric/epoxy hybrid composites were fabricated by the hand lay-up technique followed by compression molding. A set of composites of same composition having chemically treated coir pith was also prepared. Mechanical properties of composites such as tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, hardness, and abrasion resistance were evaluated. The hybridization with nylon fabric and the chemical treatment of coir pith enhances the mechanical properties of composites. Chemical resistance and void content of the composites were also determined and reported. A comparative evaluation is done between composites having chemically treated coir pith and untreated coir pith. Coir pith was subjected to different treatments such as sodium hydroxide treatment followed by sulfuric acid, dicumyl peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, acrylic acid, and acetic acid. POLYM.

“…E-glass fibers are employed as reinforcing material for most polymer matrix composites due to high strength, low electrical conductivity and good corrosion resistance [1][2][3]. Hybrid composites become more attractive than simple composites due to improvement in their specific properties [4][5][6][7][8].…”

This paper investigates the effect of surface treatment for glass fiber, stainless steel wire mesh on tensile, flexural, inter-laminar shear and impact properties of glass fiber/stainless steel wire mesh reinforced epoxy hybrid composites. The glass fiber fabric is surface treated either by 1 N solution of sulfuric acid or 1 N solution of sodium hydroxide. The stainless steel wire mesh is also surface treated by either electro dissolution or sand blasting. The hybrid composites are fabricated using epoxy resin reinforced with glass fiber and fine stainless steel wire mesh by hand lay-up technique at room temperature. The hybrid composite consisting of acid treated glass fiber and sand blasted stainless steel wire mesh exhibits a good combination of tensile, flexural, inter-laminar shear and impact behavior in comparison with the composites made without any surface treatment. The fine morphological modifications made on the surface of the glass fiber and stainless steel wire mesh enhances the bonding between the resin and reinforcement which inturn improved the tensile, flexural, inter-laminar shear and impact properties.
