Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) may be found in nearly every facet of modern society, from electronic components to a broad range accessories. contain materials that include polymer. It is also made up multiple continuous and short fibres are held together the organic polymer matrix. In this article, development, properties, production along with electronics applications were discussed. The ma...

A 3D Isogeometric Interface-Enriched Generalized Finite Element Method (IIGFEM) is developed to analyze problems with complex, discontinuous gradient fi elds commonly observed in the structural analysis of heterogeneous materials including polymer matrix composites [1]. In the proposed approach, the mesh generation process is signifi cantly simplifi ed by utilizing simple structured meshes that...

Lightweight design, using high performance composites, which directly yields a reduced need for fuel is in the focus of new developments for traffic engineering. The increased substitution of traditional, metal based materials by fibre-reinforced composites in the aviation industry exemplifies this trend. In addition to mechanical properties, e.g. an increase in strength, that leads to direct w...

Polymer modified fillers in composites has attracted the attention of numerous researchers. These fillers are composed of core-shell structures that exhibit enhanced physical and chemical properties that are associated with shell surface control and encapsulated core materials. In this study, we have described an apt method to prepare polyimide (PI)-modified aluminum nitride (AlN) fillers, AlN@...

In this work solution surface treatment was applied for producing basalt fiber reinforced PA6 matrix composites. Beyond scanning electron microscopy, static and dynamic mechanical tests, dynamic mechanical analysis of composites was used for qualifying the interfacial adhesion in a wide temperature range. The loss factor peak height of loss factor is particularly important, because it is in clo...

polyurethane/zeolite 13x nanocomposite films were fabricated using solution casting method. the synthesized nanocomposite films were structurally characterized using sem, tga and tensile analysis. sem images showed appropriate distribution of nanocrystalline zeolite particles within polyurethane matrix. better thermal stability of nanocomposite films in comparison to neat polyurethane was shown...

Effects of bi-axial stretching induced reorientation of graphene platelets (GPLs) on the Young's modulus of GPL/polymer composites is studied by Mori-Tanaka micromechanics model. The dispersion state of the GPLs in polymer matrix is captured by an orientation distribution function (ODF), in which two Euler angles are used to identify the orientation of the GPLs. Compared to uni-axial stretching...

Composite materials, especially polymer matrix composites, have been intensively studied for energy absorption applications. When the temperature is close to or higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg), the polymer matrix is usually viscoelastic. With an external loading, either dynamic or quasi-static, the relaxation of the network polymer chains would cause a considerable energy diss...
