Abstract
Abstract The mechanical, thermal and dielectric properties of lanthanum manganite (LaMnO3) epoxy nanocomposites reinforced with silane coated E-glass fiber are reported. Structural and morphological characteristics of the LaMnO3, synthesized by the solution combustion method, were studied via X-ray diffraction, EDAX and scanning electron microscopy. LaMnO3/epoxy composites containing various percentages of LaMnO3 (LME) were prepared via hand lay-up method and tested for tensile, flexural and impact strength. Improved properties were obtained with the addition of LME compared to plain epoxy composites. The thermal stability of the composites remains almost unaltered by the filler loading. Variation in the dielectric characteristics with filler loading is attributed to the percolation of charge carriers due to the interfacial zonal overlapping in the nanocomposite resulting in a change of the dielectric characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
