Abstract
Recently, fiber metal laminates (FMLs) have attracted considerable application in many industries due to their outstanding properties. FMLs are hybrid materials that are fabricated by adhesion of thin layers of metals and fiber-reinforced composites. It should be noted that the reinforcing mechanisms of nanoparticles on the polymeric composites have been well-established, but there is limited literature regarding the influence of nanoparticles on the mechanical behavior of FMLs and adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) between metal sheets and polymeric composites. To date, various nanofillers including carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets, clay nanoparticles and oxide nanoparticles have been used for improving the mechanical properties of FMLs, and ABJs. The performed studies revealed that the efficiency of nanoparticles in improving the properties of FMLs and ABJs mainly dependent on various factors such as surface treatment of metal sheets, type of nanoparticles, the morphology of nanoparticles, the size of samples, fabrication parameters, etc. However, the effects of parameters on the properties of FMLs and ABJs reinforced with nanoparticles have not considerably discussed in the literature. This review paper aims to review the existing related papers regarding the effects of nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of FMLs and ABJs in the term of adhesion between metal sheets and polymers.
