EFFECT OF NANOMATERIALS ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIESOF KEVLAR COMPOSITES

[摘要] Fiber reinforced composites find its increasing applications in automotive, marine, aerospace and construction industries. The objective of the present work is to study the effect of titanium oxide, calcium carbonate and graphite powder as nanomaterial and is compared with unfilled or pure Kevlar 49 reinforced composites. The titanium oxide, calcium carbonate and graphite fillers are incorporated in different weight ratios in the fiber reinforced composites. Composites are fabricated by using Vacuum bag molding method. The structural properties like tensile, flexural, delamination and impact strengths are experimented as per ASTM standards. The fracture behavior has been carried out and reported using scanning electron microscope.
