“…Prabhakar et al [11] studied the effect of Nanomer I.28E on the mechanical properties of EGCN. In addition, the glass fiber was treated with silane and acid to check for the effects of both treatments.…”

“…The results indicated that a combination of silanetreated glass fibers and Nanomer I.28E in the composite exhibited the highest σUTS which was 130% compared to EGCN with untreated glass fiber and unmodified MMT particles. Prabhakar et al [11] showed that any increase in an interfacial bond due to the addition of nanoclay led to increases in both σUTS and hardness of the composite. The treatment of fibers and organic modifiers on MMT formed a strong interface.…”

“…The samples treated by hygrothermal conditioning exhibited very poor flexural properties due to decreased interface bond strength caused by water absorption. Prabhakar et al [11] stated that the addition of silane treated glass fiber in epoxy has resulted in improved flexural properties due to enhanced interface bonding between fiber and matrix compared to the composite reinforced with untreated fiber. The addition of Pristine MMT and Nanomer I.28E has not shown any considerable improvement but rather reduced the σf.…”

“…In both dry and conditioned states, the 3 wt% added EGCN's exhibited good impact strength compared to the control specimen. Prabhakar et al [11] stated that EGCN reinforced with acid treated glass fiber and MMT exhibited the highest impact strength out of all the composites made using neat glass fiber, silane treated glass fiber, and acid treated glass fiber, MMT, and Nanomer I.28E. Neat GRE exhibited the second highest impact strength value.…”

Polymer nanocomposites are currently one of the most rapidly growing families of materials, and they are finding use in a wide range of industrial applications, including aerospace and defense. The broad usage of composites is because of their consolidated mechanical properties. Glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites are available for the last few decades. The idea of adding nano clay into it has emerged in the late first decade of this century. This study is aimed at reporting the effects of the addition of nano clay into GFRP on its mechanical properties. The new composite formed is epoxy-glass composites reinforced with nano clay (EGCN). Nano clay has a crystal structure that facilitates the formation of intercalated and exfoliated mixture with liquid epoxy during mixing which results in good dispersion of Nano clay thereby resulting in improved mechanical properties compared to GFRP. The work done by several researchers in this area and the results obtained are reported in this article. The improved mechanisms of failures were discussed with the addition of nano clays.

In this study, we compare the effect of various precursor‐based graphene oxide (GO) nanofillers on enhancing the mechanical performance of E‐glass fiber‐reinforced epoxy resin composites (EGFPs). GO derived from bituminous coal (BC‐GO) and graphite (Gr‐GO) were dispersed into an epoxy resin matrix. The resulting mixture was combined with E‐glass fiber mats using vacuum‐assisted resin infusion molding. Notable improvements (38.9% in flexural strength, 22.9% in tensile strength, and 21.6% in impact strength) were observed in BC‐GO‐reinforced EGFPs at 0.25 phr loading of BC‐GO. The improvements for Gr‐GO‐reinforced EGFPs were 28%, 9.3%, and 6.8%, respectively. XRD analysis of BC‐GO showed a diffraction peak at 2θ = 20.9°. Except for this peak, no other crystalline peaks were observed when BC‐GO was incorporated into EGFPs. FTIR spectra of both composite samples, with or without the nanofiller, were similar due to the spectral peaks overlap. TEM demonstrated the exfoliated morphology of BC‐GO in EGFPs. These findings underscore the potential of BC‐GO as a cost‐effective reinforcement for polymer nanocomposites across various industrial applications, including the development of lightweight and strong materials for aerospace and automotive industries, protective coatings, petroleum, and aerospace production systems.Highlights BC‐GO demonstrates superior mechanical performance compared to Gr‐GO in EGFPs. 0.25 phr BC‐GO improves 38.9% flexural, 22.9% tensile, and 21.6% impact strengths. Beyond 0.25 phr, BC‐GO and Gr‐GO showed a decline in mechanical enhancement. Role of particle size, loading & adhesion to matrix analyzed using XRD, FTIR, and DLS. Coal‐GO is an attractive alternative nanofiller for EGFPs.
