“…The extraordinary chemical and physical properties of a wide variety of experimental nano-epoxies enable a wide range of applications, varying from coatings to structural adhesives, from FRP matrix to electrical/electronic components. Epoxy nanocomposites have found advantageous application in many industrial fields [ 59 , 120 ] such as aerospace [ 114 ], aircraft [ 119 ], automotive [ 33 , 110 ], buildings [ 18 , 67 , 145 , 146 ], electronic devices [ 17 , 86 , 99 , 128 ], sensors [ 90 , 110 , 115 , 127 , 144 ] (even for biomedical applications), anti-static materials [ 9 ], abrasive tools [ 103 ], anti-corrosive coatings (for example in marine environment [ 147 ] or pipes [ 10 ]), and structural applications [ 29 , 68 , 109 ] with self-sensing properties [ 127 ].

This paper aims at reviewing the works published in the last five years (2016–2020) on polymer nanocomposites based on epoxy resins. The different nanofillers successfully added to epoxies to enhance some of their characteristics, in relation to the nature and the feature of each nanofiller, are illustrated. The organic–inorganic hybrid nanostructured epoxies are also introduced and their strong potential in many applications has been highlighted. The different methods and routes employed for the production of nanofilled/nanostructured epoxies are described. A discussion of the main properties and final performance, which comprise durability, of epoxy nanocomposites, depending on chemical nature, shape, and size of nanoparticles and on their distribution, is presented. It is also shown why an efficient uniform dispersion of the nanofillers in the epoxy matrix, along with strong interfacial interactions with the polymeric network, will guarantee the success of the application for which the nanocomposite is proposed. The mechanisms yielding to the improved properties in comparison to the neat polymer are illustrated. The most important applications in which these new materials can better exploit their uniqueness are finally presented, also evidencing the aspects that limit a wider diffusion.

“…The other half underwent abrading in the presence of water. Water was introduced into the research due to its ability to significantly accelerate the process of tribological damage to composites, which results from the conducted preliminary testing and from the literature analysis (e.g., [ 3 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]). The tribometer, used during the tests described in this article, allowed for a sound simulation of the impact of different types of an abradant on the material surface.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of weathering and thermal shocks on the abrasive wear of epoxy resin composites reinforced with carbon fabric that are commonly used in aviation. The composite was exposed to degradation in an apparatus simulating weathering and thermal shocks and then subjected to an abrasion process, with and without the presence of water. The abrasive wear was controlled by checking the weight loss as well as by visual inspection. The research findings indicated a significant effect of the presence of water in the process of friction upon the deterioration of composite resistance to abrasion with regard to dry friction. The long-term impact of rapid cyclic temperature changes (temperature difference: from −56.5 °C to +60 °C) and a combined effect of UV-A (0.83 W/m2), along with condensation of vapor and an increased ambient temperature (above 50 °C), influenced an improvement in resistance to abrasive wear. The environment of thermal shocks diminished abrasive wear to a much smaller extent than after exploitation in an environment of weathering but both environments contributed to the degradation of the surface layer. Additionally, the environment with UV-A radiation resulted in exposure of the composite reinforcement already after four months of environmental impact.

“…Reis et al [10] showed that the introduction of nanoclay into the epoxy resin could increase the maximum impact load of an aramid fiber composite. Mucha et al [11] showed that the mechanical properties (such as tensile strength and elongation at break) of the epoxy matrix could be increased by addition of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes into the resin. The mechanical properties of the composite depend on the directions in which the reinforcing fibers are arranged.…”

Low Velocity Impact Response and Tensile Strength of Epoxy Composites with Different Reinforcing Materials

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents the results of research concerning multilayered epoxy composites reinforced with different materials. The strength of multilayered composites depends, to a large extent, on the reinforcing material. The authors decided to compare the low velocity impact response and perform tensile strength tests on several composites, to ascertain the mechanical properties of the prepared composites. Five different reinforcing materials were provided for the research (two fabrics made from aramid fibers, two fabrics made from carbon fibers and one fabric made from polyethylene fibers). The composites were manufactured by the vacuum supported hand laminating method. The low velocity impact response tests were conducted with the use of a pneumatic launcher. Three strikers with different geometry (conical striker, hemispherical striker and ogival striker) were used. A comparison of the resulting damage to the composites after the impact of the strikers was based on the images obtained using an optical microscope; tensile tests were also performed. The experimental investigation showed significant differences in the mechanical properties of the composites, depending on the applied reinforcing material. It was found that, as a result of the impacts, less damage occurred in the composites which were characterized by a lower Young’s modulus and a higher tensile strength.
