Experimental and Development of Polymer-Clay based Hybrid Nanocomposites

Abstract

The hybrid polymer was arranged by using of halloysite nano tubular particles in hand lay-up method. Natural polymer materials have nano-clay particles; the epoxy resin was a chemical reaction of bonding two materials. The polymer material and nano clay particles are bonding with the epoxy resin. The amount of benzyl peroxide-radical initiator was analyzed by X-Ray diffraction method. The polymer nano clay particle and glass fiber are reinforced with epoxy-resin hybrid composites. The weight fractions of nano clay particle are 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 % (by weight.) and Halloysite Nano tubular (HNT) clay joined together with polymer clay. In this project work was carried out wear test, tensile Strength X-ray Diffraction and SEM. In this project work conducted by wear test by Varying the loads and percentage of nano clay particles can be studied
