A Brief Review on Effect of Nano fillers on Performance of Composites

Abstract

The utilization of nano materials creates a huge impact on today’s scenario in development of various products. One such type of nano material developing concept is the usage of nano fillers for making composite product. This review briefs about the development of various nano fillers and its types followed by the fabrication of various composite combinations along with various nano fillers also discussed in detail. The addition of these nano fillers as a reinforcement or matrix for the composite making creates a significant impact in the mechanical properties of the composites. Special focus is given in such a way that the nano filler dispersion in which way enhances the mechanical properties. Better bonding between the matrix and reinforcement only improves the property how the nano fillers behave in that aspect also discussed in this review. The dispersion of nano fillers in various polymer matrix composites also presented in the review. Tensile, Flexural and Impact property of the composites decides its usage in various structural applications and this review presents briefly how these properties varying with respect to various nano fillers. Further the nano filler performance on the thermal properties as well as its impact in various sectors such as automobile, biomedical, sports, and aerospace applications etc., also presented in this review paper.
