Abstract
Functionally graded design transforms polymer composites without altering their properties. These composites change only the surface exposed to severe temperatures, leaving the rest unchanged. This study analyses ceramic additions’ effects on polymer thermal stability and crystallinity. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) examined viscoelastic behaviour and thermogravimetric stability. Alumina, silicon carbide, and hafnium carbide ceramic powders increase thermal stability. DMA examined how ceramic additives affected composite viscoelasticity. The functionally graded design barely affects ceramic adhesive thermal properties. The ceramic adhesive remained stable at 800 °C with only 6% weight loss, while the other two disintegrated before 600 °C.
