The present work investigates the novel impact loading response of two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) reinforced epoxy nanocomposites at high strain rate. The testing was performed up to 1000[Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] of high strain rate, where maximum damage occurs during the impact loading conditions. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) was used for the impact loading of the composite specimen. The nanofiller material GO was synthesized by chemical oxidation of graphite flakes used as the precurser. Synthesized GO was characterized using FTIR, UV-visible, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy and FE-SEM. Solution mixing method was used to fabricate the nanocomposite samples having uniform dispersion of GO as confirmed from the SEM images. Strain gauges mounted on the SHPB showed regular signal of transmitted wave during high strain rate testing on SHPB, confirming the regular dispersion of both the phases. Results of the transmission signal showed that the solution mixing method was effective in the synthesis of almost defect-free nanocomposite samples. The strength of the nanocomposite improved significantly using 0.5[Formula: see text]wt.% reinforcement of GO in the epoxy matrix at high strain rate loading. The epoxy GO nanocomposite showed a 41% improvement in maximum stress at 815[Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] strain rate loading.

ABSTRACTNew forms of carbon-based materials have received great attention, and the developed materials have found many applications in nanotechnology. Interesting novel carbon structures include the carbon peapods, which are comprised of fullerenes encapsulated within carbon nanotubes. Peapod-like nanostructures have been successfully synthesized, and have been used in optical modulation devices, transistors, solar cells, and in other devices. However, the mechanical properties of these structures are not completely elucidated. In this work, we investigated, using fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the deformation of carbon peapods under high-strain rate conditions, which are achieved by shooting the peapods at ultrasonic velocities against a rigid substrate. Our results show that carbon peapods experience large deformation at impact, and undergo multiple fracture pathways, depending primarily on the relative orientation between the peapod and the substrate, and the impact velocity. Observed outcomes include fullerene ejection, carbon nanotube fracture, fullerene, and nanotube coalescence, as well as the formation of amorphous carbon structures.
