COMPOSITE EPOXY MATERIAL WITH EMBEDDED SILICON CARBIDE AND ALUMINA NANOPARTICLES

摘要

A stacked composite material and a method of preparation, wherein the stacked composite materials comprises of glass fiber layers sandwiched between nanocomposite layers. The nanocomposite layers comprise a nanofiller dispersed in a cured epoxy matrix, wherein the nanofiller is at least one of silicon carbide nanoparticles or aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Adjacent and noncontiguous glass fiber layers are oriented in a unidirectional orientation or a quasi-isotropic orientation.

1: A stacked composite material comprising:
at least two glass fiber layers, wherein the glass fiber layers share a common axis and glass fibers present in the glass fiber layers are coplanar and parallel; at least three nanocomposite layers comprising a nanofiller dispersed in a cured epoxy matrix, wherein the nanofiller is silicon carbide nanoparticles, aluminum oxide nanoparticles, or both; wherein each glass fiber layer is sandwiched between two nanocomposite layers and the nanocomposite layers are formed integrally with the glass fiber layer; and wherein adjacent and noncontiguous glass fiber layers are oriented in a unidirectional orientation or a quasi-isotropic orientation with respect to the glass fibers present within each glass fiber layer in the stacked composite material.
