13 Role of nanomaterials in enhancing the performance of polymer composite materials
-
Rajesh Kumar Verma
Abstract
Lightweight polymer matrix composites are widely used in various engineering applications due to their unique virtue of being lightweight with higher strength. After discovering nanomaterials, it is observed that the nanomaterials play a significant role in enhancing the property of existing polymer composites by many folds. The effects of nanomaterials are mainly governed by the uniform dispersion and aspect ratio of the nanomaterial. The main challenge in adding nanomaterials in a polymer matrix is the complex interfacial regions between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrices. The amazing features of nanoparticles are tuned by their incorporation into the matrix. Very tiny scales produce a huge specific surface area, highlighting the significance of interactions between the polymers and nanoparticles. Analysis of the intercalation process between the nanoparticles and the polymer bases is therefore necessary to achieve the desired characteristics (e.g., mechanical, thermal, optical, and electric). This chapter mainly focuses on the effect of GO particles in CFRP composite. The result shows that a nominal amount (0.5 wt% of GO) enhances the mechanical properties of a conventional composite.
