In recent decade, polymer matrix composites were extensively used in various engineering applications owing to their advanced properties over conventional materials and enhanced performance. This motivated the researchers to generate an extensive study and research work on polymer composites. In recent studies, the erosion properties of the polymer composite attract increasing attention among researchers. The potential enhancement in the erosion resistance property of filled composites tempted the researchers to find the feasibility of using various filler materials in polymer matrix for specific erosion resistance applications. However, only limited numbers of literature are available concerning the tribological performance of the filled composite. Hence in this study, an objective was set to review the various literature that explain the erosion characteristics of filled composites.

Solid particle erosion of polymer matrix composites filled with naturally available and environment pollutant fillers have not been studied to the same level as for metals or ceramics and is focus of the present study. In this article, review of the research associated with the erosion response of polymer composites is presented. Particulate polymer composites are employed extensively owing to their enhanced specific properties and tribological response. Particulate filler particles such as environmental pollutants and naturally available ones need to be effectively incorporated in utilitarian applications so as to reduce land fill burden issues and other specific problems. Nevertheless, adequate data is not available in review articles on the erosion of fillers that are environment pollutants and thereby an ample amount of research can be carried out in this regard. Erosion behavior of polymer composites in particular has gained a lot of attention among researches in the recent decade. Viability of incorporating various fillers in polymer matrix for erosion resistive applications needs to be assessed so that the potential of these composites can be well understood. Therefore in this study, erosion response of polymer composites reinforced with fillers is reviewed with a focus on input parameters (impact velocity, impingement angle and erodent properties) and material properties (density).

Polymer matrix composites have generated a great deal of attention in recent decades in various fields due to numerous advantages polymer offer. The advancement of technology has led to stringent requirements in shielding materials as more and more electronic devices are known to cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices. The drive to fabricate alternative materials is generated by the shortcomings of the existing metallic panels. While polymers are more economical, easy to fabricate, and corrosion resistant, they are known to be inherent electrical insulators. Since high electrical conductivity is a sought after property of EMI shielding materials, polymers with fillers to increase their electrical conductivity are commonly investigated for EMI shielding. Recently, composites with nanofillers also have attracted attention due to the superior properties they provide compared to their micro counterparts. In this review polymer composites with various types of fillers have been analysed to assess the EMI shielding properties generated by each. Apart from the properties, the manufacturing processes and morphological properties of composites have been analysed in this review to find the best polymer matrix composites for EMI shielding.

Due to their cost effectiveness, greater strength and ease of fabrication, polymer composites are noticeable candidate almost in all areas. However, when they are used in their original form they possess very low wear resistance and hardness. The present investigation gives information on mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites where LDPE (Low density polyethylene) is used as polymer matrix and TiO2, Al2O3 and CaCO3 are used as reinforcements. The samples were prepared according to ASTM standards by injection moulding machine with varying percentage of reinforcements in polymer matrix. Tests viz., tensile, flexural impact are carried out.

Hard And Brittle Materials

The acceptability of polymer matrix composites for various industrial applications has been increased over the years due to their better mechanical properties. However, nonconductive nature and fibrous residuals produced during micro drilling of these materials has become major challenge for the research fraternity. The conventional machining of these materials causes high tool wear due to presence of abrasive particles. Recently, the electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) process has emerged as potential contender for the machining of nonconductive hard and brittle materials. Keeping in mind all these challenges, the present research work focuses on micro drilling of PMCs using ECDM process. The experimentation was planned as per Taguchi’s methodology using L9 orthogonal array. Voltage, electrolyte concentration and duty factor were considered as process parameters whereas material removal rate and taper were observed as output quality characteristics. The regression equation and coefficients were obtained using regression analysis. Using this regression equations, further solutions were obtained by genetic algorithm.
