“…The lower tan delta value and broad peak is evidence that the improving damping behavior is due to the presence of the intercalated layers of OMMT modifying the network structure, effecting the relaxation mechanisms and arresting the segmental motion near the organic-inorganic interface. These findings are in line with other research findings [50,51,54,55]. Additionally, the author observed that increasing crosslink density shifts the T g higher.…”

In this work, the optimum filler loading to prepare epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites by the in-situ polymerization method was studied. Bi-functionalized montmorillonite at different filler loading (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 wt %) was dispersed in epoxy resin by using a high shear speed homogenizer. The effect on morphology, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and tensile properties of the epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites were studied in this work. Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) studies revealed that possible intercalated structures were obtained in epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites exhibit higher thermal stability at the maximum and final decomposition temperature, as well as higher char content, compared to pristine epoxy. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) indicate that storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″), cross-link density and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites were improved with organoclay loading up to 1 wt %. Beyond this loading limit, the deterioration of properties was observed. A similar trend was also observed on tensile strength and modulus. We concluded from this study that organoclay loading up to 1 wt % is suitable for further study to fabricate hybrid nanocomposites for various applications.

“…From the literature, 6,7,10,11,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] it is found that researchers have tried to improve the mechanical properties of PP by reinforcing with SGF and SCF and also by adding natural and nanofibers, natural, particulate, and nanofillers as hybrid reinforcement and filler materials. The effect of fiber weight percent, fiber-matrix interfacial strength, and fiber length on the mechanical properties are studied.…”

In the present work, short glass fiber (SGF) and short carbon fiber (SCF)‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites are fabricated using twin‐screw extrusion and injection molding techniques. The SGF and SCF are reinforced as a single and hybrid reinforcement into the PP matrix with the same weight percentage (wt%) and the obtained composites are characterized for physicomechanical properties. It is observed that the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of PP are improved by increasing the weight percent of reinforcement in the composite. The highest value is observed for composite with 30 wt% of SCF reinforcement; hybrid composite with 10 and 20 wt% of the mixture of SGF and SCF proves to outperform the other composites with the same weight percent of SGF and SCF added individually. The notched Izod impact strength of SGF + PP composite at 30 wt% is found to be the highest amongst all. Furthermore, the increased presence of SCF improved the tensile and flexural properties; however, it was not able to improve the impact strength significantly.
