Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the enrichment of the both mechanical and electrical properties of Kevlar and glass fibres, not including mounting the weight of the structure by adding the iron (Fe) nanocomposites with the epoxy resin. The Fe is mixed well with the epoxy to increase the mechanical constancy and the electrical property of the fibre by a non-covalent approach. The synthesis of metal nanocomposite with epoxy is done by the direct mixing method. The Kevlar and the glass fibre were taken as the samples for this study. The zinc oxide and epoxy were mixed simultaneously using a mechanical stirrer to give appropriate dispersion and adhesion without disturbing the hydrophobic performance of the epoxy, and the Fe powder and epoxy are added with a hardener in the ratio of 1:1:0.1. The results show that the mechanical property of the fibre increased with the decrease in the weight of the laminate when they are treated with the metal nanocomposite.
