Comparative Study on Toughening Effect of PTS and PTK in Various Epoxy Resins

Woong Kwon et al.

Summary: This study investigated the toughening effect of in situ polytriazoleketone (PTK) and polytriazolesulfone (PTS) toughening agents on various epoxy resins. The results show that the miscibility between the toughening agents and resins plays a crucial role in influencing the fracture toughness and tensile properties of the epoxy samples.

Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Graphene Nanoplatelet-Nanosilica Filled Unidirectional Basalt Fibre Composites

Ummu Raihanah Hashim et al.

Summary: Basalt fibre (BF) is a promising natural reinforcing material for polymer composites, and when modified with nanofillers like graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and nanosilica (NS), it shows enhanced mechanical properties. The incorporation of hybrid nanofillers contributes to the improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites, especially in terms of modulus and strength. This study demonstrates the potential of BF as an alternative to synthetic glass fibre for mechanical components and structures.
