“…No improvement in mechanical properties was observed for these composites due to the weak interface between the glass fiber and the doped epoxy resin, which enhanced the detrimental effect of the accumulation bands of this GNPs. Furthermore, Tuncer and Canyurt evaluated the influence of the addition of graphene nanoparticle (0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% by weight) on the tensile strength of E-glass/epoxy composite [55]. The authors designed two types of composites with different fiber placement type A (0…”

Fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are used in various branches of industry because of their favorable strength and thermal properties, resistance to chemical and atmospheric conditions, as well as low specific gravity. This review discusses the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of hybrid epoxy composites that were reinforced with glass, carbon, and basalt fabric modified with powder filler. The modification of the epoxy matrix mainly leads to an improvement in its adhesion to the layers of reinforcing fibers in the form of laminate fabrics. Some commonly used epoxy matrix modifiers in powder form include carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoclay, silica, and natural fillers. Fiber fabric reinforcement can be unidirectional, multidirectional, biaxial, or have plain, twill, and satin weave, etc. Commonly used methods of laminating epoxy composites are hand lay-up process, resin transfer molding, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, and hot or cold pressing. The following review is a valuable source of information on multiscale epoxy composites due to the multitude of technological and material solutions.

“…Kumar and Sundaram [27] found that although the inclusion of MWCNT gives a slight increase in the mechanical properties of nanocomposite laminates compared with the neat composites. Furthermore, using the optimum percentages of graphene nanoparticles led to 22% increase in the composite tensile strength [26]. Besides, an increase of 23.6% and 34.1% in the tensile and flexural strength was achieved by adding the optimum amount of nanoclay to glass fiber reinforced epoxy [63].…”

“…Substantial improvements in mechanical, flammability and thermal properties have been achieved with nanocomposite laminates while maintaining similar density to those of the neat resin [24]. Furthermore, nanocomposites can be used in industrial applications owing to their high mechanical properties as tensile modulus, strength, flame resistance, barrier resistance, corrosion resistance, and stiffness [25,26].…”

Vacuum-Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI) and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) techniques are the most common techniques for the manufacturing of polymeric composite laminates. The VARI technique has a lot of advantages such as low cost, free voids laminates and the ability to produce complex shapes. However, it has some drawbacks such as poor surface finish and temperature instabilities. On the contrary, the RTM technique can withstand high temperature, producing a good surface finish and complex shape laminates. However, it has a high tooling cost and poor quality laminates due to void contents. In this study, a new technique integrated both VARI and RTM techniques is developed to minimize their drawbacks. This technique involves using a semitransparent composite plate instead of a vacuum bag in the VARI technique. This semitransparent plate takes the inverse shape of the composite laminate similar to the RTM tooling. However, this plate has a low cost compared with RTM tooling and allows monitoring of the resin flow during the infusion process. To validate the integrated technique, the mechanical properties of composite laminates are compared with that produced by hand layup technique (HLT). Moreover, the influence of incorporation of 0.25 wt. % and 0.5 wt. % of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle into woven and chopped fiber/epoxy composite laminates was demonstrated. The results indicated that the laminates fabricated by the integrated VARI method showed higher mechanical properties than those produced by the hand-layup technique. Moreover, glass fiber/epoxy filled with 0.25 wt. % of TiO2 nanoparticles gives high mechanical properties.

One of the challenge fields that a more study has been carried out about them is adding the nanoparticle such as (SiO2) [11]- [12], nanosilica [13]- [14], nanoclay [15] - [16], grapheme [17] and grapheme oxide and nanozirconia [18], titanium dioxide (TiO2) [19]- [20], matrix filled with cork powder [21], Tamarind seeds (TSP) powder [22] into the composite materials.

Recently, engineers and researchers have been concerned about how to improve the behavior of materials used in manufacturing. Ensuring the compatibility of particle, as main constituents with other reinforcement, in composites for specific behavior is essential. In this review, we attempt to list the salient features of experimental as well as numerical investigation on characteristics composite materials with adding either micro- or nano-particles, which is one of the ways to express it. The behavior of composites materials such as mechanical enhanced with different form, size, type and nature of particle additives. The bibliography review concludes that it would be important to investigate extensively the features of this technique in order to get more discoveries and developments of materials experimentally and numerically. Some contributions have identified the research gaps and deduced that the potential application of particles as additive agents in composites have not been more explored.
