Abstract

Polymers are widely appreciated for the development of electronic devices due to their light weight and design flexibility. Therefore, studying the approximate values of failures during displacement and deformation in the polymer nanocomposite is very important for medical devices. The present work deals with the development of polymer nanocomposite (PNC) using the Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as host polymer with vapour grown carbon nano fibers (VGCNF) and ionic liquid (IL) as the filler particles using solution casting technique. The tensile test has been done experimentally using the Ultimate Tensile Machine (UTM) for determining the deformation behaviour in the specimen samples of PNC. Further, the specimen models were developed using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to compare with the experimental results. The experimental samples were prepared using the solvent casting technique with ASTM 3039 standard dimensions. The uni-axial load (0.5, 1 2, 3, 4 and 5 N) was applied to one end of the specimen while keeping another end fixed for simulating the data with ANSYS. The results obtained by the FEM showed favourable results with an acceptable margin of errors.
