Abstract

The electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites and hybrid epoxy nanocomposites have been studied. Short term breakdown voltage studies, Surface discharge analysis, PRPD studies have been carried out and found that hybrid nanocomposites with 1.5 wt% clay in epoxy resin have high performance. Thermo gravimetric studies indicate that major weight loss of material occurs between 530 and 560°C. Tensile test, flexural test and impact test with epoxy nanocomposites and hybrid epoxy nanocomposites indicate hybrid epoxy nanocomposites have good mechanical strength. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry (LIBS) studies indicate that Silica (Si), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K) are present in fiber material and energy required to generate plume is high with hybrid nanocomposites.
