Abstract This study focuses on understanding the effect of graphene, when introduced in epoxy systems, overall moisture absorption capacity and behaviour resin composites subjected to hydrothermal conditions. Pristine incorporating functionalised unfunctionalised graphene reinforcement were manufactured exposed 90°C purified water for 30 days. The flexural tensile properties observed both unage...

Polymer nanocomposites with exceptionally high mechanical properties owing to strong interfacial attraction have garnered tremendous interest in the research community. In general, tough and robust polymer are usually obtained via dispersing a nano-flaky filler matrix, although strategy is only sometimes practically viable. To this end, work, facile has been adopted achieve nanocomposite. A nov...

Steel composites reinforced with alumina nanoparticles were prepared by powder metallurgy process. Samples containing two different amounts of carbon (0.35 and 0.55 wt.%) and 0-5 wt.% Al2O3 nanoparticles were fabricated by mixing, compacting and sintering of diffusion bonded Distaloy AE powder. The density, hardness and wear tests were performed on the prepared samples. Fu...

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...

In the present scenario, weight diminution and strength enrichment are main requirements for escalating application of a nano composite material in different sectors. Several industrial sectors, such as automobile, defense aerospace, making various components composites with help powder metallurgy processing. this study, Al nanoTiCp (2, 4 6 wt %) were contrived through modified (PM) techniques ...

In this study, affect of aging on wear characteristics the nano GNP reinforced Al6061 metal matrix composites. scope, samples were produced by hot press at 500 ℃ temperature under 50 MPa pressure for 30 minutes. The composites determined using ball-on disc test method. friction coefficient and ratio investigated. Graphene reinforcement significantly increased between stainless steel ball specim...

ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...

The current investigation, nano-multi-powder particles, 5 and 10 wt.% boron carbide (B4C) graphite (Gr) are utilized as a reinforcement, aluminium LM 25 alloy is used matrix. These hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated by novel additive manufacturing method—selective laser melting. specimen was carried out in cylindrical size having 2 circular slots of dimension 14 length 50 mm. diverse SLM spe...
