Synthesis and Surface Studies of ZnS/PVK Nanocomposites
Abstract: ZnS/PVK nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by chemical method. The optical and electrical properties of nanomaterials can be controlled by their particle size and therefore attracted much interest for their fundamental and applied aspects. The sizes of the particles were varied with different ZnS concentrations. The XRD pattern showed that the ZnS nanoparticles have zinc-blend structure and line broadening suggests the formation of the amorphous compound. The observations show that …

Effect of CTBN Micro-Rubber Particles on Fatigue Performance of Carbon Reinforced Epoxy Composites
Abstract: In the automobile industry, composite materials are sought after for their lightweight and superior properties, such as high stiffness, specific strength, and chemical resistance. Epoxy resins, brittle in nature, are used as a matrix system in many composite manufacturing industries and are enhanced by reactive liquid rubbers to increase toughness. In this research, carbon reinforced epoxy composites were manufactured with carboxyl-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN) rubber particles using low-cost vacuum assisted resin …

Dielectric Studies of ZrO2 Semiconducting Oxide Materials and its Characterization
Abstract: Zirconium oxide powder was prepared by using the combustion method. Solution combustion synthesis was adopted to prepare the powder, urea and glycine act as fuels. The crystal size values were calculated its nearly equal to 74 nm. Naturally, bulk zirconium is the insulator, the reduction of size in nano will behave as a conductor, and its electrical and dielectric properties were reported here. The electric modulus M* is defined in …

Damage Mechanisms in Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-based Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites under Ballistic Impact Loading
Abstract: The incorporation of nanomaterials even in very small amounts has a significant effect on the properties of the fiber reinforced polymer reinforced composites. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied mostly due to their potential for higher energy absorption capacity and high hardness. Due to the enormous growth of utilization of composites in aerospace, automotive, marine, and defense industry, impact resistance is a major concern due to their high susceptibility to …
