Review Paper on Development of Polymer Composite Material and its Characterisation

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to take an overview of the work done in the area of characterization of polymer composite materials, different constituent materials used in polymer composites, failure mechanism and manufacturing process of polymer composite. Based on comprehensive literature review of various aspects in developing polymer composite materials, it is observed that extensive work has been done related to monocoque structure and thick polymer sandwich panels, whereas studies carried out to analyse static and dynamic strength of thin polymer sandwich panels are limited. The behaviour under flexural loading and impact loading, and interlaminar fracture toughness of laminated polymer composite are the main areas of interest of researchers.

Development of Ecofriendly Snail Shell Particulate-Reinforced Recycled Waste Plastic Composites for Automobile Application

“…Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by incorporating reinforcement into the matrix of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials. eir characteristics such as lightweight, high stiffness, high strength, good corrosion resistance, lesser environmental degradation, excellent thermal insulation, good acoustic damping, excellent design flexibility, and nonmagnetic properties have broadened the spectrum of their applications [1,2]. ey are currently replacing conventional materials such as metal, ceramics, and wood in diverse applications that require light weight materials [3][4][5][6].…”
