The effect of the addition of carbon nanoparticles and methods for combining them with an epoxy matrix on the properties of polymeric composite materials
Summary
This Russian materials study examined how different methods of incorporating carbon nanoparticles into epoxy binders affect the mechanical properties of unidirectional carbon and organic fiber composites. Researchers found that nanoparticle addition improved breaking load and other mechanical performance metrics. This is a composite materials engineering study with no connection to environmental microplastic research.
The influence of the methods of introducing carbon nanoparticles into the epoxy binder and their amount on the complex of physicomechanical characteristics of unidirectional organic and carbon plastics was evaluated. An increase in the breaking load in microplastic made of carbon filaments up to 86% due to the introduction of nanoparticles is shown. An increase in the compressive strength of unidirectional carbon-fiber specimens modified with nanoparticles using a wave machine, up to 32% in comparison with unmodified, has been established.
