Abstract
Abstract Advanced materials were used and are being implemented in structural, mechanical, and high-end applications. Contemporary materials are used and being implemented in structural, mechanical, and high-end applications. Composites have several major capabilities, some of them being able to resist fatigue, corrosion-resistance, and production of lightweight components with almost no compromise to the reliability, etc. Nanocomposites are a branch of materials within composites, known for their greater mechanical properties than regular composite materials. The use of nanocomposites in the aerospace industry currently faces a research gap, mainly identifying the future scope for application. Most successes in the aerospace industry are because of the use of suitable nanocomposites. This review article highlights the various nanocomposite materials and their properties, manufacturing methods, and their application, with key emphasis on exploiting their advanced and immense mechanical properties in the aerospace industry. Aerospace structures have used around 120,000 materials; herein, nanocomposites such as MgB2, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/montmorillonite nanocomposites are discussed, and these highlight properties such as mechanical strength, durability, flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and thermal stability in the aerospace application for lightweight spacecraft structures, coatings against the harsh climate of the space environment, and development of microelectronic subsystems.
Highlights
The space environment is distinguished by extreme temperatures, vacuum, micrometeoroids, space debris, and large variations because of sunspot activity
Molybdenum disilicide nanoparticles dispersed in an aluminum matrix were found to exhibit good wear resistance, which is a deciding factor in ensuring that the parts of an aerospace system do not start degrading under long-term usage [14]
It consists of connector chains formed by deformation and adhesion techniques, and the integration of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in carbon nanotubes (CNT) resulted in maximum load pressure of 24.9 MPa which was useful for advanced structure design [27]
Summary
The space environment is distinguished by extreme temperatures, vacuum, micrometeoroids, space debris, and large variations because of sunspot activity. Molybdenum disilicide nanoparticles dispersed in an aluminum matrix were found to exhibit good wear resistance, which is a deciding factor in ensuring that the parts of an aerospace system do not start degrading under long-term usage [14] High strength materials such as titanium have been used in nanocomposite systems for high-end aerospace properties. CNT is the most common type of nanocomposite technology used in aerospace applications It consists of connector chains formed by deformation and adhesion techniques, and the integration of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in CNT resulted in maximum load pressure of 24.9 MPa which was useful for advanced structure design [27]. The reinforcement and matrix serve to optimize the structure, microelectronics, and impact studies
