Abstract
The use of polymer matrix composites has been increased exponentially for the past. Marine, aeronautical, automobile, and space structures are the areas were fiber-reinforced composites are very widely used for their specific properties like high tensile strength, high strength to weight, inert to the environment, etc. These conventional fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) fall shortage of both compressive strength and impact strength. To overcome these challenges, an attempt is being made to develop the properties of FRP composites (glass/epoxy) by adding nanofiller. Three different types of nanoparticles are used: (i) multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), (ii) Nanosilica (NS), (iii) Nano-Iron oxide (NI) with four different weight percentages 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0%. The experiments reveal a significant enhancement in the compression and impact behavior for Glass/Epoxy FRP when modified with nanofillers.
