Abstract
This paper presents the results of dynamic mechanical analysis of carbon fiber reinforced nylon-66 nanofiber interleaved epoxy composites. The role of nylon-66 nanofiber has been investigated with specific reference to the percentage of interleaving with nylon-66 nanofibers. For a better understanding of the fiber matrix interactions, the composites were subjected to γ-irradiation, and the resulting changes in the dynamic mechanical properties due to nylon-66 interleaving and γ-irradiation are investigated and discussed. Nylon-66 interleaving and exposure of the composites to γ-irradiation are observed to influence the dynamic mechanical properties. The study has established that 1.15% of nylon-66 interleaving of the epoxy carbon fiber composite improves the Tg and it also leads to enhancement of the dynamic mechanical properties. Individually, the improvements in dynamic mechanical properties of the base were ll nylon-66 interleaved carbon epoxy composites due to γ-irradiation is observed to be minimal.
