Effect of Nano Clay on the Mechanical Properties of S-Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

Abstract

Composite materials assume an Important job in numerous modern applications. Specialists are chipping away at manufacture of new composite materials worldwide to improve the appropriateness of these materials. Hybrid composites are one of the most Renowned materials that are in effect widely utilized and is picking up force because of variables like adaptability in plan and higher solidarity to weight proportion. Kevlar is discovering its way for the new kind of exploration. Taking into account this, the new polymer composite is created in which the Kevlar fiber is strengthened to the epoxy resin with the use of nano fillers at 1wt%, 2wt%, 3wt% which are manufactured by straightforward hand layup procedure. It was seen that the composite with 1 wt % nano clay content displayed the optimised elastic and flexural strength. In any case, the mechanical properties will in general decrease with expansion of nano clay content from 2 to 3 wt %, Because the expansion of filler beyond 1wt% is the way that there is more fiber matrix association than that of filler–matrix connection.
