Impact Characterization of Fiber/Foam Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Synthetic foam is light weight engineered foam which is incorporated in polymer matrix. The synthetic foam structure gives several advantages such as low density, high strength and low co-efficient of moisture absorption. It also possess good amount of tailor ability and can be casted into intricate shape. In this study, sandwich panels were fabricated with syntactic foam and 4-layered woven roving glass fiber/epoxy nanoclay composite laminates. The nanocomposites laminates were prepared by varying the nanoclay at a loading of 0, 1,2,3,4% by weight. The structure of the prepared nanocomposites is characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to find the quality of dispersion. High velocity gas gun impact test had been conducted at the velocity 130m/s. From the impact test the fracture surface area had been calculated. The impact surfaces were analyzed using SEM. The SEM image clearly showed a good interface bonding with fibre and synthetic foams when addition of nanoclay. So the better interface bonding reduces the damaged area.
