Abstract Icing is one of the critical factors that affects the flight of the aircraft in ways of drag. In this study, the rate of de-icing was experimented with the composite material using Boron Nitride Nano Powder (BNNP) and Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO). Boron Nitride are highly thermal conductive and lesser toxic, and Graphene allows to be a good conductor of heat and electricity and thereby, these nanomaterials are used as a filler for de-icing application. The filler is mixed in Epoxy Resin using ultrasonicator. In order to get better specimen surface of composite, ultrasonic mixing method is used instead of hand-mixing. To fabricate Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Hand Lay-up Method is carried out. The material characterization is done by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Mechanical properties are studied with Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Water Droplet test. Moreover, the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer surface shows extraordinary de-icing effect contrasted with the non-functionalized surface. This study has proved that the de-icing property is very much effective with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer where Graphene and Boron Nitride as the filler.

The mechanical behavior of an adhesive, in neat state and reinforced with up to 0.5 wt% of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was investigated here. Tests were done at temperatures between the ambient temperature and the glass transition temperature ( Tg[Formula: see text] of the adhesive. Using a metal mold, cured plates of the neat and RGO reinforced epoxy adhesive were prepared. The adhesive powder and the bulk dumbbell-shaped specimens, obtained from cured adhesive plates, were subjected to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tensile tests, respectively, to obtain the Tg as well as mechanical properties of the adhesives. The results indicated that adding RGO up to 0.5 wt% increased the glass transition temperature, the modulus of elasticity, and the strength of the adhesive. It was found that the presence of RGO reduced the adhesive’s strain at the break at the ambient temperature. However, at high temperatures, near the Tg, the ultimate strain of RGO-reinforced adhesives decreased slightly when compared to the ultimate strain of the neat specimens. This explains the reduction in toughness at ambient temperature obtained by adding RGO and the increase at high temperatures. Finally, the failure morphology of the neat and RGO-reinforced adhesive specimens was investigated using microscopic imaging of the specimens’ failure cross-sections, which supported and justified the experimental observations.

AbstractThe interfacial interaction between the fiber and matrix is the most important factor which influences the performance of the carbon fiber-epoxy composites. In this study, the graphitic surface of the carbon fibers was modified with graphene oxide nanomaterials by using a spray coating technique which is an easy, cheap, and quick method. The carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy matrix composites were prepared by hand layup technique using neat carbon fibers and 0.5, 1 and 2% by weight graphene oxide (GO) modified carbon fibers. As a result of SEM analysis, it was observed that GO particles were homogeneously coated on the surface of the carbon fibers. Furthermore, Young's modulus increased from 35.14 to 43.40 GPa, tensile strength increased from 436 to 672 MPa, and the elongation at break was maintained around 2% even in only 2% GO addition.
