Abstract:
This study attempts to enhance the mechanical properties of Glare fber-metal laminate by adding several types of nanofllers. These nanofllers are aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), titanium oxide (TiO2), silica (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and nanoclay (NC). Nanofllers were added with 1 wt% into epoxy resin and dispersed by ultrasonic processor followed by a magnetic stirrer to ensure good distribution of these nanofllers into epoxy resin. Also, to ensure the better interaction and adherence between the matrix and the aluminum sheets, the mechanical and chemical treatments were conducted. Results revealed that Glare flled with SiO2 followed by Glare flled with Al2O3 nanoparticles exhibit a signifcant enhancement in tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear properties as compared to unflled Glare. Incorporation of metal nanoparticles (Al and Cu) to composite laminate in Glare also improves the tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear properties. On the contrary, a decrease in tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear strengths is attained with Glare flled with TiO2 and nanoclay. However, adding nanoclay to Glare improves the tensile and flexural failure strains. Visual inspections and SEM micrographs of the fractured surfaces show the effect of adding nanofllers to Glare.
