Effect of Graphene and Silica Fillers on Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nano Composites

Abstract

In the recent years Polymer Nano composites have become promising materials in all engineering materials for transportation, automotive, and biomedical applications. This paper presents various combinations of Nano fillers and matrix materials which were used to develop the Nano composite material by means of simple compression molding technique and characterization of mechanical properties. The effect of Nano Silica (0-25% by weight) and these properties was studied. The silica Nano filler has received much attention due to their ordered structure and high surface area. The Graphene has attracted considerable interest over recent years due to its intrinsic mechanical properties. Finally, Nano composites were subjected to tensile, flexural, impact and hardness testing to analyze the mechanical properties.
