Optimal performance of poly-hybrid nanocomposites promoted with carbon fibers and nano silicon carbide particles via compression associated with hot pressing: characterization study Venkatesh Rathinavelu, Sakthivel Perumal, Mohana Krishnan Amarnath, Subramaniam Prabagaran, Sekar Subramani, Manzoore Elahi Mohammad Soudagar, Vinayagam Mohanavel, Sami Al Obaid, Saleh Hussein Salmen International Polymer Processing, 2025 Polycarbonate (PC) – fiber composites are high heat resistant, and thermal interface materials for electronics applications because of their good thermal stability, impact resistance, strength, low scratch resistance, and low fracture toughness. This research intends to enhance the functional behaviour of PC poly-fiber composites promoted with unidirectional carbon fibers (CF) and 1–5 wt% of 50 nm silicon carbide (SiC) particles with epoxy-based coupling agent, prepared via compression moulding associated with hot pressing. The synthesized PC composite samples PC1, PC2, PC3, and PC4, containing 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt% of nano SiC, were subjected to mechanical testing and the results are compared to find the optimum behaviour. The PC4 composite sample of PC/5 wt% SiC/CF/PC laminate showed optimal performance, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis confirmed the presence of SiC and CF as effective interfaces to the PC matrix. The PC/5 wt% SiC/CF/PC hybrid nanocomposite provides optimum fracture toughness (5.5 MPa0.5), improved hardness (94HV), superior flexural strength (188 MPa) and enhanced yield (96 MPa) & tensile strength (105 MPa), which are greater than those of pure PC laminates. The PC4 composite is proposed for automotive seat frame applications.
Investigation on Mechanical Behaviour of Glass Fiber Reinforced with Banana Slacks and Coconut Coir S. Santhosh, P. Sakthivel, M. Premkumar, M. Raghulkumar, M. Ragul, S. Ragul SAE Technical Papers, 2024 <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Natural fibers are increasingly being used to reinforce glass fiber composites rather than synthetic fibers because of their increased tensile strength, despite some inherent disadvantages. With the help of the structural analysis program ANSYS, three different combinations were thoroughly analyzed with an eye toward factors like total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent stress in order to determine the best combination. The composite specimen exhibiting the best performance qualities was chosen for further manufacturing. A fracture load of 8.93 kN and a tensile strength of 81.46 MPa were obtained from tensile strength tests and Charpy impact tests performed on samples made from the composite. The impact test, which produced a value of 14 J using a 15 kg pendulum, also shed light on the ability to absorb energy during fracture. These results indicate that the composite material has qualities that make it a good choice for dashboards and panels for automobiles.</div></div>
EXPLORING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LEAF SPRINGS REINFORCED WITH FIBRE COMPOSITES Sakthivel P., Santhosh S., Sivaraman P. Materiali in Tehnologije, 2024 To determine whether eggshell particles can be used as a filler material to improve mechanical properties, this study examines the mechanical characteristics of a hybrid material made of eggshell particles and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). To obtain the appropriate particle size, the eggshells are cleaned, crushed, and sieved as part of the experimental approach. The eggshell fragments are then mixed with resin and glass fibres using a vacuum-assisted resin-transfer moulding process to create GFRP composites. The produced GFRP composites’ flexural strength, stiffness, fatigue stability, and other pertinent characteristics are evaluated with practical tests. Notably, certain qualities are enhanced with the inclusion of eggshell particles containing 110 % of the weight of fibroin. In comparison to conventional GFRP composites, which only consider fatigue life during the exhaustion testing phase, the results reveal a 15% increase in the enhancement rate. The findings imply that adding eggshell particles to GFRP composites has tremendous opportunities for progress, notably in automotive applications, and more specifically in the use of leaf springs. The hybrid material’s better mechanical characteristics suggest that it may be possible to improve the performance and longevity of leaf-spring applications. This study advances the investigation of low-cost, environmentally friendly materials for improving composite materials’ mechanical properties in the automobile sector. The application of eco-friendly and effective solutions in the production of automobiles may result from more study and development in this field.
Synthesis and Thermal Adsorption Characteristics of Silver-Based Hybrid Nanocomposites for Automotive Friction Material Application R. Venkatesh, P. Sakthivel, M. Vivekanandan, C. Ramesh Kannan, J. Phani Krishna, S. Dhanabalan, T. Thirugnanasambandham, Manaye Majora Adsorption Science and Technology, 2023 Advances in friction materials are imposed on developing multiceramic reinforced hybrid nanocomposites with superior tribomechanical properties. The silver-based matrix metals are gained significance in various applications like bearing, ratchet, and electrical contacts due to their high frictional resistance and good thermal and chemical stability compared to traditional metals. The present research is to develop silver-based hybrid nanocomposites containing alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles of 50 nm mixing with the ratio of 0 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, 5 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, and 5 wt% Al2O3/5 wt% SiC via the semisolid vacuum stir-cast technique. The vacuum technology minimizes casting defects and increases composite properties. The casted composite samples are subjected to study the effect of reinforcement on thermal adsorption, conductivity, diffusivity, and frictional resistance. The composite containing 5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp is to find optimum thermal and frictional behaviour. The thermal adsorption and frictional resistance are increased by 30% and 27% compared to unreinforced cast silver. The Ag/5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp hybrid nanocomposite is recommended for automotive friction-bearing applications.
