“…The resultant composites depicted low density, high compressive stress, modulus (from 0.04 GPa to 0.11 GPa), good thermal stability, and low thermal conductivity, and as such evidence its use as high temperature insulation material. In another study, Yim et al 14 fabricated polyimide-based glass fiber-reinforced composites using the hand lay-up method. The experimental investigation was on mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties.…”

In recent times, glass fiber reinforcements are extensively used in the development of polymer matrix composites to improve their performance especially when used for engineering applications. As such, the focus of the present study remains on the effects of electrical corrosion resistance (ECR) glass particles on the mechanical and tribological properties of polyimide (PI) composites fabricated by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. SPS is a novel powder metallurgy method in producing homogeneous composite materials in short sintering time with finer microstructure. However, the PI composites were produced at different contents of ECR-glass reinforcement particles (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt %). The microstructural characterization of the samples was conducted using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nanoindentation tests and pin-on-disc wear tests (under dry condition) were conducted to evaluate the mechanical and tribological properties of the composites. The SEM results revealed that the reinforcement’s particles were well distributed in the PI matrix phase. Incorporation of ECR-glass particles into the PI composites improved its hardness and elastic modulus. The ECR-glass/PI matrix composite loaded with 15 wt% ECR displayed a significant reduction in coefficient of friction from 0.091 to 0.015 and wear rate from 0.81 × 10−4 to 0.14 × 10−4 mm3/Nm. In addition, the ECR/PI composites exhibited improved dielectric properties over the pure PI. Hence, corroborating the potential of this ECR-glass reinforced PI for industrial (automobile and power) applications requiring high hardness, elastic modulus, good wear resistance, and low dielectric constant.

“…Along this line, researchers and industries recently focus their interest on the development of three component polyimide composites for advanced engineering applications be it aircraft, automobile, or electronic device. 19 For instance, Yim et al 20 investigated the effect of silica (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles on the thermal, mechanical, and dielectric characteristics of glass fiber (GF)-reinforced polyimide composites prepared by solution/hand lay-up method. The results demonstrated that the GF/PI containing functionalised 5 wt% inorganic SiO 2 possesses superior mechanical, thermal, and reduced dielectric response in comparison with those of the virgin PI composites.…”

Interest has grown in recent time on the development of three-component polymer nanocomposite with enhanced properties. However, the study focuses on the effect of TiO2 nanofiller on the mechanical, tribological, dielectric, and corrosion resistance properties of boron-free glass fiber (BGF) reinforced polyimide (PI) composite produced with spark plasma sintering route. Microstructure of the samples was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical, tribological, dielectric, thermal, and corrosion behaviour of the samples were characterized by nanoindenter, ball-on-disc, LCR meter, TGA, and potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The SEM results show that the introduction of the nanoparticles into the BGF/PI composite aids in more uniform distribution of the BGF particles within the PI matrix, and thus good interfacial interaction of the glass fiber and the PI matrix structure. Comparing the BGF/PI composite sample with BGF/TiO2/PI nanocomposite, it was observed that the nanocomposite depicted better hardness, elastic modulus, low friction coefficient and wear rate, dielectric, and enhanced corrosion properties. With TiO2 additions, hardness and modulus of the PI composite was improved by 56.6% and 10.1%, respectively. In addition, PI composites filled with TiO2 depicted a 0.07 coefficient of friction and wear rate of about 67.7% in reduction than that of neat PI and 9.0% in reduction than that of the pristine BGF/PI composites. Improved interactions between the reinforcements and the host matrix are suggested as the possible mechanism resulting to the desirable properties of the three-component PI nanocomposite recorded. Finally, the developed nanocomposite is suggested to be favourable for automobile, aerospace, and microelectronic device applications.

“…Indeed, to achieve polymer matrix based composites with superior mechanical and electrical properties for mechanical load-bearing and electrical insulation, two or more types of particulates are usually introduced in the polymer matrix simultaneously. And numerous investigations revealed that glass fiber and micro-and nano-inorganic particles, for example TiO 2 , 18 SiO 2 , 19 Al 2 O 3 3,[20][21][22] and so on can improve the mechanical and electrical properties of polymer composites synergistically. Nallusamy 18 studied the effect of hybrid glass-reinforced fiber with epoxy nanocomposites.…”

This paper presents the mechanical behaviour of novel class composites consisting of ECR-glass type reinforced polyimide (PI) composite loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles. ECR glass reinforced PI composites were fabricated by adding TiO2 particles at three different concentrations namely; 2, 4, and 6 wt% using 3D-Turbula dispersion and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. The morphologies, crystallinity, mechanical, and electrical properties of the produced composites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer, nanoindentation test, and LCR meter device. The SEM results revealed that the TiO2 nanoparticles were homogenously dispersed into the PI composites. The mechanical properties, such as hardness, stiffness, and elastic modulus of the pure PI and ECR glass reinforced PI composite was improved by the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles. Maximum hardness and elastic modulus values of 2.19 GPa and 13.99 GP, respectively, was observed in ECR reinforced PI composited loaded with 6 wt% TiO2 nanoparticles. In addition, ECR glass reinforced PI composites with 6 wt% TiO2 nanoparticles depicted the lowest dielectric constant (1.18), dielectric loss (1.14) and electrical conductivity (3.16 × 10−6 S/cm). Finally, the findings suggest the easy processability of PI nanocomposites and their potential for mechanical and electrical insulation applications.
