Effect of Nanoiron Particles Reinforced Blended Polymer Nanocomposites on Mechanical Properties

Abstract

We report on the preparation of nanocomposites using epoxy and vinylester blend in which nanoiron filler was dispersed to evaluate the mechanical performance. Different weight ratios viz.1,2,3,4,5 & 7wt.% of nanoiron particles were dispersed into the matrix to prepare different systems to evaluate the optimization of performance. Nanoiron was also prepared by chemical reduction method and nanocomposites were prepared by hand layup process. Three blade Mechanical stirrer and ultra-sonicator was used while preparing the modified to keep the non-homogeneity nanoparticle at bay. Mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and compression strength properties were performed. Nanoiron particles functionalization nepotisms the fabrication composites through the remedial temperature at low as associated to the as-synthesised nano particles occupied vinylester nano composites. Mechanical property values improved owing to the standardized nanoparticle chemical bonding and spreading between vinylester matrix and nanoparticles. Then the combination nanoiron particles into the vinylester resin matrix it becomes magnetically harder. Machines generated mechanical property values were compared and analysed with system generated software analysis of variance (ANOVA) values. Machine values and ANOVA values were measured for the specimens of epoxy+vinylester+nanoiron, where the nanoiron is varying viz. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 wt.%.
