Experimental analysis on tensile properties of FRP with nano clay

Influence of selected submicron inorganic particles on mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester/glass composites

“…Fatigue lifetime of this composite can be increased by the incorporation of silica nanoparticles. 21,22 In case of polyester/glass composites addition of MMT improved tensile properties 23 and incorporation of carbon nanofibers enhanced the flexural properties 24 and interlaminar shear strength. 25 Disadvantages of nanoadditives (e.g.…”

“…[6][7][8][9] Studies also focused on the improvement of mechanical properties by modifying the surface of fibers [10][11][12] or by adding fillers (e.g. carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles) to the polymer matrix, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] developing of recycling methods (e.g. in supercritical fluids) for fiber recovery, [26][27][28] and obtaining self-healing materials.…”

The effects of material formulation and manufacturing process on mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy/clay nanocomposites

“…On the other hand, Chen and Yang [6] reported that the modification of natural clays with onium ions could enhance interlayer spacing and thus increasing the glass transition temperature of resulting nanocomposites. In addition, widespread investigations have been made to evaluate the effect of clay inclusions on tensile strength [13][14][15][16], Young's modulus [17,18], tensile creep behavior [19], flexural properties [20][21][22], heat resistance [23,24], barrier performance [25] and flame retardancy [26] of nanocomposites.…”

Effects of Nanoclay as a Reinforcement Filler on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Wood-based Composite

“…N ANOTECHNOLOGY IS A hybrid science combining engineering, information technology, chemistry, and biology [1]. One of the first applications of nanotechnology was the production of nanofillers for the improvement of the mechanical properties of composites [2].…”
