| description | Incorporation of nanofillers into laminated composites is expected to produce a material with improved
performance for many potential industrial applications. The focus of this work is to produce advanced
composites by simple wet lay-up technique. The impact of adding three different nanofillers (multi-wall
carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3),) on the thermal and
mechanical stability of woven Kevlar KM2Plus/epoxy composites was investigated. Silicon carbide and
aluminum oxide were added at different weight percentages up to 3wt%, whereas the addition of multi-wall
carbon nanotubes was limited to 1wt%. The mechanical behavior was evaluated through three-point bending
tests. The thermal stability was examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The results revealed that simple wet lay-up technique is a
recommended alternative method for production of thermostable composites with improved
thermomechanical performance. The improvement in thermomechanical stability increases with the
nanofiller content. However, MWCNT composites showed an optimum content value of 0.5wt % after which
the mechanical performance starts to degrade due to agglomeration. |
