This study investigated the effect of different weight percentages of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the mechanical performance of glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy (GLARE). Results showed that the inclusion of 1 wt. % of HNTs led to maximum improvements in various mechanical properties. Adding 0.5 wt. % of HNTs to GLARE significantly enhanced the flexural modulus. However, using 3 wt. % of HNTs in GLARE led to a decrease in several mechanical properties but an increase in others.
In this study, the effect of different weight percentages (wt. %) of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the mechanical performance of glass laminate aluminum (Al) reinforced epoxy (GLARE) was investigated. GLARE (3/2) laminates with quasi-isotropic lay-up, [Al/[(0 degrees/90 degrees)/(45 degrees/-45 degrees)]s/Al/[(0 degrees/90 degrees)/(45 degrees/-45 degrees)]s/Al] filled with 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 wt. % of HNTs were fabricated using hand lay-up followed by compression molding. To explore the effect of HNTs on the mechanical properties, tensile, flexural, in-plane shear, interlaminar shear, bearing and impact tests were conducted. Results demonstrated that the inclusion of 1 wt. % of HNTs into GLARE leads to maximum improvements of 35.67, 8.50, 28.85, 50.47, 50.27, 30.43, 23.73, 72.08, 30.74, and 51.52% in tensile strength, tensile strain, Young's modulus, modulus of toughness, flexural strength, flexural strain, in-plane shear strength, interlaminar shear strength, bearing strength, and impact strength, respectively, compared to pristine GLARE. An enhancement of 38.89% in the flexural modulus was attained by adding 0.5 wt. % of HNTs to GLARE compared to pristine GLARE. The tensile strength, tensile strain, modulus of toughness, flexural strength, flexural modulus, flexural strain, in-plane shear strength, and interlaminar shear strength of GLARE filled with 3 wt. % of HNTs are 0.91, 0.88, 0.91, 0.91, 0.71, 0.83, 0.85, and 0.91 times those of the original GLARE. But Young's modulus, bearing strength, and impact strength are 1.10, 1.15 and 1.20 times those of the original GLARE. To investigate the fracture mechanism, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used. The microscopic images revealed that adding HNTs lead to the improvement in the interaction between the epoxy matrix and glass fiber, thereby improving the mechanical properties.
