Synthesis and Characterization of Glass Fiber Reinforced Nano Composite Cylindrical Pipes Using TiO2 Nano Particles
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Polymer matrix reinforced with fibers and Nano fillers are widely used in automotive, marine, and aerospace and construction industries because of their high tensile and compressive strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good fatigue resistance and suitability for the production of complex shape materials. The polymer composite materials are light weight when compared to steel. The commercially made steel pipe are more weight and poor resistance of corrosion and high cost. The nano materials will improve the strength, corrosion and chemical properties. In this research work to studies the effect of TiO2 on E-glass fiber reinforced polymer composite. The Nanocomposite cylindrical pipes were prepared by hand layup technique by varying percentages of TiO2 nanoparticles of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt% respectively .The distribution of TiO2 in polymer were analyzed using Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result shows that addition of nano particles enhance the compressive strength 19.62% in the addition of 3wt% TiO2.
