Flexible-rigid scalable structures for trans-scale interface reinforcement of carbon fiber/phenolic composites: Effect on properties

Shanshan Ma et al.

Summary: Researchers constructed a flexible-rigid scalable structure using aramid nanofiber (ANF), cellulose nanofiber (CNF), and ZIF-8 to improve the interfacial properties of composites. This structure enhanced the flexural strength and elastic modulus of the composites, leading to the fabrication of advanced materials on a large scale.

Graphene nanoplatelets/epoxy nanocomposites as conductive adhesives for out-of-autoclave in-situ CFRPs repair

Yuheng Huang et al.

Summary: Novel out-of-autoclave (OoA) strategies were studied for repairing carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) to simplify component maintenance and reduce unnecessary scrappage. Electrically conductive uncured nanocomposites with different graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) loadings were used as adhesives to repair CFRPs through Joule heat curing. The lap shear strengths of the repaired CFRPs were comparable to those repaired using a conventional oven curing method, proving the effectiveness of this approach as an OoA repair method. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the coexistence of interfacial and cohesive failure mechanisms, with increased dominance of cohesive failure with higher GNPs loadings.

Multi-functional solvent-free SiO2 nanofluid simultaneously improve major properties and fluidity of epoxy resin: A new strategy beyond nanofillers

Jun Yuan et al.

Summary: High flowability and good wettability are the advantages of liquid thermoset resin in high performance composites, but the use of flame retardants restricts its application in VARTM process. A new solvent-free SiO2 nanofluid was synthesized and it improved the flowability and T-g of EP/SiO2-NPES-P composites. The nanofluid functioned as an accelerator of EP polymerization and improved the dispersion and compatibility. The composites showed better thermal stability, T-g, mechanical properties, flame retardancy, and smoke and heat suppression effects.

Summary: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) have many advantages over metals and ceramics, but their limited interfacial properties hinder stress transmission and degrade mechanical properties. By constructing a multiscale rigid-flexible interfacial structure, the interfacial properties can be improved for effective stress transfer.

Influences of particle content, size and particle/matrix bonding strength on the gas transmission coefficient of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy

Yuhuan Yuan et al.

Summary: The study found that the content of particles has the greatest impact on the CTE of the matrix and GTC of the CFRE, with small particle size showing advantages at low particle content. However, this advantage disappears when the content increases to 30%. A high KH560 grafting rate is beneficial for reducing CTE and GTC, especially for large particles.

T. Prasad et al.

Summary: The mechanical and fracture performance of epoxy nanocomposites with functionalized silica nanoparticles have been enhanced by utilizing a post-synthesis grafting method. GGS nanoparticles showed potential in improving fracture toughness and energy, as well as demonstrating excellent cure capability in the composite. The use of GGS as reinforcement in the epoxy matrix can effectively mitigate brittle failure in epoxy composites.
