An experimental investigation of novel hybrid epoxy/glass fibers nanocomposite reinforced with nanoclay with enhanced properties for low velocity impact test

Nanoclay Reinforced Fibers and Nonwovens

In this research, polypropylene fibers and nonwoven samples were produced with the commercial samples of nanoclay additives in semi-commercial processing machinery. Influence of two different types of nanoclay additives, at different add on levels on processing, structure and morphology of nonwovens is studied. The WAXD and DSC data showed some change in crystallinity and melting behavior indic...

Finite Element Analysis of Low Velocity Impact on Carbon Fibers/Carbon Nanotubes Reinforced Polymer Composites

An effort is made to gain insight on the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the impact response of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRs) under low velocity impact. Certain amount of CNTs could lead improvements in mechanical properties of composites. In the present investigation, ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code (FEM) is employed to investigate various damages modes of nano composites ...

An experimental investigation into localised low-velocity impact loading on glass fibre-reinforced polyamide automotive product

Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Lithium-Based Geopolymer Composites Reinforced with Basalt Fibers

Recently, geopolymer binders have been considered because of low cost, simple processes for synthesis and many raw materials in nature. Geopolymer with brittle nature does not have high strength and cannot be used alone for structural materials. Therefore, to use in different structures, the composite which is reinforced with fibers such as carbon, glass, basalt, etchasbeen used. In this resear...

investigation of thermal comfort properties of woven sport fabric using blend of estabragh fibers

امروزه لباس در نظر ورزشکاران و کسانی که برای اوقات فراغت خود و یا برای رسیدن به اندامی متعادل، ورزش می کنند؛ بسیار با اهمیت است. احساس مطلوب از لباس در زمره خصوصیات راحتی پوشش می باشد. خصوصیات انتقال رطوبت لباس، در ارزیابی راحتی حسی و حرارتی منسوجات تولید شده از آن ها بسیار مهم است. هدف از این تحقیق، معرفی پارچه جدید است که متشکل از الیاف استبرق با خواص منحصر به فرد می باشد. استبرق لیف طبیعی تو...

Effect of Adding Nanoclay on the Mechanical Behaviour of Fine-grained Soil Reinforced with Polypropylene Fibers

In this study the performance of clay nano-particles on the soil reinforced with Polypropylene fibers (PP-fiber) has been investigated. Also a series of investigations concerning the effect of random orientation of fibers on the engineering behaviour of soil were conducted. Soil mixtures were modified with varying percentages of nanoclay and Fibers. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), Compac...
