Mechanical properties of UV‐curable carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composite patch: Repair evaluation of damaged aluminum alloy

This comprehensive review encompasses a comprehensive analysis of nearly all established methodologies developed within the last 15-20 years to fabricate silicate/polymer nanocomposites based on acrylic oligomers and modified montmorillonite. The review thoroughly examines the diverse strategies employed to create these specific nanocomposites, categorizing them according to the distinct methods employed for mineral modification. The review systematically investigates three principal avenues of layered silicate modification. The first avenue involves the utilization of montmorillonite which has been modified with alkylammonium surfactants, shedding light on the intricacies and outcomes associated with this approach. The second avenue focuses on montmorillonite modification achieved through photopolymerization initiators, exploring the nuances and advancements within this context. The third avenue delves into the functionalization of montmorillonite with reactive groups, offering a comprehensive evaluation of this avenue’s potential and limitations. Each direction is dissected in terms of its distinctive advantages and drawbacks, contributing to a thorough understanding of the factors influencing the choice of a particular approach. This multidimensional exploration allows for a well-informed consideration of the most suitable method for a given application. By presenting a holistic perspective on the various methodologies, advantages, and challenges, the review aids in enhancing the collective understanding of this specialized area and promoting further advancements in the development of innovative silicate/polymer nanocomposites. This review also encompasses a comprehensive exploration of fundamental techniques instrumental in studying these intricate materials. The review also includes a number of basic methods used to study polymer/silicate nanocomposites. The main ones are small-angle X-ray scattering SAXS, X-ray diffraction XRD, transmission electron microscopy TEM, Scanning electron microscopy SEM, Dynamic mechanical analysis DMA and Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis DMTA. By illuminating the investigative tools used to unveil the structural and mechanical intricacies of these materials, the review empowers researchers to make informed decisions, advance their research, and contribute to the continued evolution of nanocomposite science.

Self-healing composites Microcapsule Repair of composites Patch Intelligent materialsRepairing any damage in composite materials is very important in terms of the mechanical strength of the structure in which they are used. Therefore, the damage needs to be detected and repaired quickly. The increasing use of composite materials in various industries makes it more important to repair damage in composites both quickly and cost effectively. Patch repair method is one of the most preferred methods for repairing damaged composites because it does not create a new tension on the structure it is applied, does not damage the damaged area and is light. In addition, thanks to the embedded microcapsules placed in its matrix, self-healing composites have been studied in recent years. In this study, both the repair of composite materials and self-healing composites are discussed.
