“…Polymer-based composites, consisting of a polymer matrix and reinforcing material such as carbon, glass, or ceramic fibers, are known for their good toughness and ductility. On the other hand, metal-based composites, which consist of a metal matrix and reinforcing material such as ceramic or polymer fibers, exhibit high strength and stiffness [61,[71][72][73]. When choosing composite materials for energy harvesting, it is crucial to consider their mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact resistance, as well as their durability, fatigue resistance, and stability under repeated loading.…”

The field of energy harvesting is expanding to power various devices, including electric vehicles, with energy derived from their surrounding environments. The unique mechanical and electrical qualities of composite materials make them ideal for energy harvesting applications, and they have shown tremendous promise in this area. Yet additional studies are needed to fully grasp the promise of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. This article reviews composite materials used for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, discussing mechanical characteristics, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness. As a bonus, it delves into using composites in piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric energy harvesters. The high strength-to-weight ratio provided by composite materials is a major benefit for energy harvesting. Especially important in electric vehicles, where saving weight means saving money at the pump and driving farther between charges, this quality is a boon to the field. Many composite materials and their possible uses in energy harvesting systems are discussed in the article. These composites include polymer-based composites, metal-based composites, bio-waste-based hybrid composites and cement-based composites. In addition to describing the promising applications of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, the article delves into the obstacles that must be overcome before the technology can reach its full potential. Energy harvesting devices could be more effective and reliable if composite materials were cheaper and less prone to damage. Further study is also required to determine the durability and dependability of composite materials for use in energy harvesting. However, composite materials show promise for energy harvesting in E.V.s. Further study and development are required before their full potential can be realized. This article discusses the significant challenges and potential for future research and development in composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. It thoroughly evaluates the latest advances and trends in this field.

“…It is worth investigating the influence the composite plies layout on their dynamic behavior. The authors of paper [41] analyzed the fibers sequences of composite materials on the dynamic responses and the energy harvesting efficiency by applied the piezoelectric components. Moreover, the piezoelectric structures are often applied for vibration controls the composite structures as authors discussed in paper [42].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a selected physical modifier with different granularity and mass percentage on the dynamics of aerospace polymer composites. The tests were carried out on samples made of certified aerospace materials used, among other purposes, for the manufacture of aircraft skin components. The hybrid composites were prepared from L285 resin, H286 hardener, GG 280T carbon fabric in twill 2/2 and alumina (Al2O3, designated as EA in this work). The manufactured composites contained alumina with grain sizes of F220, F240, F280, F320 and F360. The mass proportion of the modifier in the tested samples was 5% and 15%. The tested specimens, as cantilever beams fixed unilaterally, were subjected to kinematic excitation with defined parameters of amplitude and frequency excitation in the basic resonance zone of the structure. The results, obtained as dynamic responses, are presented in the form of amplitude–frequency characteristics. These relationships clearly indicate the variable nature of composite materials due to modifier density and grain size. The novelty of this study is the investigation of the influence of the alumina properties on system dynamics responses.

“…The main advantages of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, widely used, for decades, in various engineering applications, compared to traditional materials, include their high strength to weight ratio and a good fracture resistance along the direction of the fiber reinforcement [ 1 , 2 ]. For example, housings made out of a polymer composite had their weight reduced by more than 60%, compared to that of steel [ 3 ].…”

The Effect of Powder and Emulsion Binders on the Tribological Properties of Particulate Filled Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

et al. 2023

Investigations into polymer composites are mainly focused on properties dependent on glass fiber reinforcement and particulate fillers. In the present study, the effect of the binder was examined. The specimens were produced with two types of epoxy resin, with similar numbers of glass mat layers and similar proportions of quartz powder added. However, one group was fabricated with an emulsion binder in the glass mats and another group with a powder binder. Attention was concentrated on the tribological properties of the as-prepared composites, though their strength was examined as well. The hardness of the Sikafloor matrix was found to be much more sensitive to the applied binder than that of the MC-DUR matrix. No direct correlation between the microhardness and the specific wear rate was observed and increasing the particulate filler proportion did not cause a direct increase of the specific wear rate. In particular, the highest specific wear rate, around 350 J/g, was reached for both matrices with a 1% quartz addition when the emulsion binder was applied, while in the case of the powder binder it was with 6% quartz with the MC-DUR matrix, and there was no quartz addition with the Sikafloor matrix. The highest microhardness, HV0.5 = 25, in turn, was reached for the mats with the emulsion binder in the Sikafloor matrix with an addition of 10% quartz powder, while the highest friction coefficient was exhibited in the composite with the MC-DUR matrix, when 1% of the quartz powder and the emulsion binder were applied.
