“…This ensures that the impact limit can be improved by the Hybridization of Carbon and Glass fibers. This result validates the previous studies on Carbon-Glass composite, where a significant improvement was achieved through Hybridization 10,[26][27][28] . However, the current study focuses more on investigating the high velocity impact properties at a different preload condition, which is not evident in previous literature.…”

The Hybridization concept creates a niche within the composite segment to customize materials for specific applications with reduced cost without sacrificing strength and durability. The composite structures develop strain during continuous operation, and any sudden impact on these preloaded parts might result in catastrophic accidents. Studying impact response during such conditions is essential in designing and developing structures. This study experimentally investigates the high velocity impact response of Hybrid (Carbon-Glass) composite under normal and hydrostatic preload conditions. Mechanical tests involving Tensile, Izod, and Charpy are conducted. High velocity impact testing is carried out with a vertical single-stage gas gun with additional provision for hydrostatic preloading. An oscilloscope with a laser source measures the initial velocity, and Photogrammetry using a high-speed camera measure the residual velocity of a projectile. The mechanical test results suggest that Hybridization resulted in a significant property enhancement. The high velocity impact resistance and energy absorption are higher for Hybrid under both normal and preloaded impact.

“…Impact studies on composite laminates have always been an area of concern for various researchers globally [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Impact is defined as the collision between two or more bodies, where the interaction between the bodies can be elastic, plastic, fluid, or any combination of these [23].…”

This review paper initially summarizes the latest developments in impact testing on polymer matrix composites collating the various analytical, numerical, and experimental studies performed since the year 2000. Subsequently, the scientific literature investigating nanofiller reinforced polymer composite matrices as well as self-healing polymer matrix composites by incorporating core-shell nanofibers is reviewed in-depth to provide a perspective on some novel advances in nanotechnology that have led to composite developments. Through this review, researchers can gain a representative idea of the state of the art in nanotechnology for polymer matrix composite engineering, providing a platform for further study of this increasingly industrially significant material, and to address the challenges in developing the next generation of advanced, high-performance materials.

“…To ensure the reliability of FRPC materials under various loading conditions, the mechanical responses of materials must be characterized accurately these conditions. Researchers have performed extensive studies on the characterization of FRPC materials under different compressive loading in order to understand the mechanical behavior of these materials [12][13][14][15][16]. However, there is a gap in the literature about MMT, GNP infused carbon/epoxy composites under quasi-static compressive loading.…”

Fiber reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) materials are superior to other conventional materials because of their high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and moisture resistance. FRPC materials are preferred in many high-end applications such as marine, automobile, aerospace, and advanced sporting goods. The aim of this study was to investigate the in-plane quasi-static compressive and durability studies of nanophased FRPC materials. Composite samples were fabricated using unmodified epoxy and epoxy modified with montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT), graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), and a combination of the two as a binary reinforcement with carbon fibers. Quasi-static compression tests were conducted for mechanical property evaluation. Seawater conditioning was performed for a six-month period both at room and arctic cold temperatures. The results indicated that addition of GNP and MMT improved the compressive properties of carbon/epoxy composites compared to unmodified carbon samples. Specific compressive strength and modulus of GNP infused samples improved by 30 and 41% respectively; the samples showed a relatively higher strain to failure than the unmodified samples. Specific compressive strength and modulus increased by 32 and 47%, respectively, for carbon/epoxy samples with MMT reinforcement. Performance of hybrid carbon/ glass/epoxy composites was lower compared to other FRPC materials considered in the study. The mode of failure of fractured samples investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a rough morphology after incorporation of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix. This is indicative of enhanced interfacial bonding between carbon/epoxy and the nanoparticles.
