“…Cho et al [22] reported 10% and 16% improvement in longitudinal compressive strength of carbon/epoxy composites with 55% fiber volume fraction by adding 3 wt.% and 5 wt.% graphite nanoparticles in epoxy matrices. 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 .…”

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.

-Solid particle erosion of polymer composites is a complex surface damage process, strongly affected by material properties and operational conditions. The present research work is undertaken to study the development, characterization and erosion wear performance of two different categories of fibers when reinforced in polymers. One of the two fiber is well known synthetic fiber i.e. glass fiber which is commercially used by many industries and the other fiber will be a natural fiber i.e. banana fiber which will be the new attempt in the present investigation. In both the above cases matrix material will remain epoxy. Attempts have been made to explore the possible use of a natural fiber as filler material in composites. To make an assessment of their (banana fiber) reinforcing potential in terms of wear performance and mechanical properties, various physical, mechanical and wear performance of the composites are studied in details and its comparison with a similar set of composites with glass fiber as a filler material is reported. The reported data are purely extracted from experimental measurement under controlled laboratory conditions.From the performed experiments it can be seen that a banana fiber can successfully replace the glass fiber as far as wear performance in concerned, as the study indicates that erosion wear performance of banana fiber based composites is better than that of the glass fiber reinforced composites. Banana fiber is also having a very low specific gravity, so their composites show very low density as compared to glass fiber reinforced composites. From other mechanical characterization it can be said that, in strength point of view, banana fiber-epoxy composites are not very much behind its counterparts glass fiber-epoxy composites.

“…Nanoparticles can substantially improve the mechanical properties of the host matrix materials [140,142,[218][219][220]. Even at very low filler volume content such as 1-5%, a considerable improvement of the mechanical properties can be achieved [143,[221][222][223]. 2.…”
