Effect of Boron Nitride Nanoparticles on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymeric Composites

The mechanical properties of three phase nano-modified carbon fiber reinforced polymeric composites (CFRP) fabricated using Heated Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (HVARTM) is investigated. Eight layers of carbon fiber plain weave mats were stacked in quasi isotropic layup and Epoxy 862 resin (non–modified and modified with Boron Nitride Nanoparticles (BNNPs)) was used. For mechanical properties characterization, three ASTM tests were performed. These tests included Tension Test (ASTM D3039), Compression Test (ASTM D6641) and Flexural Bending Test (ASTM D7264). The behavior of control and nano-modified composite laminates were compared. Results indicated that even small percentage of Boron Nitride Nanoparticle can significantly affect mechanical behavior of CFRP as well as progressive failure mechanisms.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Research on material engineering is widely developed in the precursors, composition of the material, and technique to create a composite. The layering and vacuum infusion resin are the developing technology to create the composites with the new characteristics and properties. This experiment is intended to find out the characteristics of layering carbon fiber reinforced by resin and is molded with vacuum infusion technique. The specimens of this experiment is layered-carbon fiber composites determined in three, four, five, six, and seven layers. The precursors of 220 and 240 carbon fibers are the main material of the composites. The tests conducted to the specimens are bending and tensile tests. The both tests are treated to reveal the mechanical properties of the composites. The least layers of 220 and 240 carbon fiber result the highest value of bending test, but the most number of carbon fiber layers show the opposite value. The results are reverse in the tensile test. The highest value of the tensile test is achieved by the most layers of carbon fiber, while the lowest value is in the least layers. This result is almost the same with the strain-stress, but overall the graphic is similarly increase to the most layers. Deduction achieved in this experiment is that the number of layers in the carbon fiber composites is significantly influencing the mechanical properties of the composite.
