A review on the effect of oxide nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and their hybrid structure on the toughening of epoxy nanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
Epoxy-based polymer nanocomposite is an advanced and high-performance material with numerous applications in automobiles, railways, aerospace, and construction industries. High crosslinking density and inherent brittleness limit its applications. Incorporating the oxide nanoparticles (ONPs) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) or their hybrid structures improves the mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposite due to the exceptional properties of nanoscale materials. This review article analyzes and summarizes the effects of ONP, CNT, and their hybrid form on the mechanical properties and toughening mechanisms of epoxy nanocomposite based on the recent experimental findings. The possible challenges of the fabrication of hybrid epoxy nanocomposites have also been covered in this work. This article concludes with the possible solutions for the fabrication of hybrid epoxy nanocomposites for improved mechanical performance and their crucial role in future research.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name). Author 1 Given name: [Avani Kumar] Last name [Upadhyay]. Also, kindly confirm the details in the metadata are correct.Yes.
