Abstract
This research focuses on the tensile properties, dynamic-mechanical and thermogravimetric analysis of carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy (CF/Ep) composites with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) nanofiller (G-CF/Ep). These composites were portrayed regarding tensile properties, surface morphology, dynamic-mechanical and thermogravimetric analysis. The dynamic-mechanical properties studied were storage modulus, loss modulus, dynamic capacity and glass transition temperature (Tg) through the dynamic-mechanical analyser. The thermogravimetric property studied was weight loss% through the thermogravimetric analyser. The carbon fabric reinforcement along with the GnP-Epoxy matrix improved the tensile properties. Further, it was exhibited that 1.75 wt% GnP into CF/Ep prompts predominant damping capacity and thermal stability. Generally speaking, it was presumed that GnP-filled CF/Ep composites even with very small wt% GnP gracefully and successfully improved tensile, dynamic-mechanical and thermogravimetric properties as well as the morphology of epoxy for various engineered applications.
