Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube

Experimental studies are presented on the high velocity impact behavior of nanomaterial dispersed resin viz laminates made using E-glass fabric with epoxy resin. The nanomaterials used are silica nanoparticles and carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (COOH-MWCNT) for polymer matrix composites. The composites' ballistic limit ( Vbl) and impact energy absorbed ( Eab) were determined by subjecting the material to impact loading of 85, 100, and 112 m/s by conical nose projectile. It was found that the high velocity impact response of epoxy composites improved when a nanomaterial was used as reinforcement. COOH-MWCNTs reinforced composites exhibited better energy absorption than silica nanoparticles composites. Moreover, the damage pattern for different types of materials studied is presented. It is observed that the damage size on the target around the point of impact decreases on addition of nanoparticles especially COOH-MWCNTs. Quantitative data are presented for high velocity impact behavior of the seven types of specimens studied.

Abstract The present paper describes the results from experimental and theoretical modelling studies on the behaviour of continuous carbon fibre/polymer matrix composites subjected to a relatively low-velocity or high-velocity impact, using a rigid, metallic impactor. Drop-weight and gas-gun tests are employed to conduct the low-velocity and high-velocity impact experiments, respectively. The carbon fibre composites are based upon a thermoplastic poly(ether–ether ketone) matrix (termed CF/PEEK) or a thermoset toughened epoxy matrix (termed CF/Epoxy), which has the same fibre architecture of a cross-ply [03/903]2s lay-up. The studies clearly reveal that the CF/PEEK composites exhibit the better impact performance. Also, at the same impact energy of 10.5 ± 0.3 J, the relatively high-velocity test at 54.4 ± 1.0 m s−1 leads to more damage in both types of composite than observed from the low-velocity test where the impactor struck the composites at 2.56 m s−1. The computationally efficient, two-dimensional, elastic, finite element model that has been developed is generally successful in capturing the essential details of the impact test and the impact damage in the composites, and has been used to predict the loading response of the composites under impact loading.
