Abstract
Polymer based Nano composites are new materials reinforced with glass fibers. These materials have a big potential for applications in the aerospace industry. Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS) epoxy resin polymer dissolved in suitable solvent and a bidirectional glass fiber is reinforced in polymer matrix. Glass fiber (GF) has reinforced in SEBS-Epoxy mixer and SEBS/GF Composites are prepared using internal mixer. The mechanical properties of composites are predisposed mostly by the grip between matrix and fibers. The reinforcing fibers offer the high strength and modulus, and the polymer matrix provides the good physicochemical property, process ability, and could transfer the stress. Nano metal oxides are synthesized by sol-gel method. Nano particles were coated with polymer matrix for better surface adhesion. The stresses acting on the interface of the two adjacent laminae in a layered composite are called interlaminar shear stress. The ILSS value are measured and found to be appreciable increase for single, double and triple layer composites in comparisons to neat epoxy.In this study, the composite filled with ZnO, MgO, CuO, TiO2 and SiO2nano metal oxides and its Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Mechanical Properties and ILSS is also to be investigated.
