Abstract

In the recent development of structural composite materials, there is an approach to enhancing existing and synthesis of new, strong, and resistant fibers, and there is an approach to the synthesis of more efficient interlayer adhesives and polymer matrices. This research considers potential new hybrid composite binders based on epoxy resin and poly(vinyl butyral), PVB, reinforced with nanostructures of several engineering ceramics: SiC, INT-WS2, BN, and B4C. First stage of the research consisted of preparation and examination of hybrid polymer matrices in the form of thick films for characterization. FTIR was applied to confirm the chemical interaction between the two polymer components and to exclude their chemical interaction with the nano reinforcement. Mechanical performance was examined through tensile test and hardness measurement. The addition of nano reinforcements has improved tensile strength and the Shore hardness values of composite polymer matrix films, especially in the case of INT-WS2. The second stage of research was the implementation of the reinforced binders in carbon fiber laminated composites. INT-WS2 reinforced composite was selected and examined through tensile testing and resistance to bending test. Results obtained encourage further research and more detailed characterization of the new composites for potential application in the automotive, naval, and aerospace industries, in civil engineering, protective equipment, etc.
