Reinforcing fibers, nanofillers, matrix materials, and manufacturing techniques all have a role in the mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites. MWCNTs-reinforced E-glass/Kevlar/epoxy composites are appropriate fillers for structural applications. The impact of different concentrations of MWCNT fillers (0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.2% wt) on the mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites has been studied. Tensile and bending strength, as well as hardness, were measured in compression-molded composites. The effects of compression pressure, mold temperature, and applied pressure on hybrid (0.8% MWCNT) were investigated. When it came to composite tensile and bending strength, compression pressure was the most important factor, closely succeeded by mold temperature and pressure period. Compression molding were optimized, resulting in a tensile strength of 183 MPa, a bending strength of 158.3 MPa, and a hardness value of 23.8 HV.

The polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based and pitch-based carbon fiber-reinforced nanoparticle filled polyimide based multiscale hybrid composites have been fabricated using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VaRTM) and autoclave curing. The carbon fibers used in this study were high tensile strength PAN-based (T1000GB) and high modulus pitch-based (K13D) carbon fibers. Fiber orientations of the T1000GB/K13D hybrid composites were set to [0(T1000GB)/0(K13D)]2S (T1000GB and K13D unidirectional layers were alternately and symmetrically laminated). The fiber volume fraction was 50 vol% (T1000GB: 24.9 vol%, K13D: 25.1 vol%). Polyimide used in this study was a commercially available polyimide precursor solution (Skybond 703). Four different types of nanoparticle (25nm-C, 20-30nm-β-SiC, 130nm-β-SiC and 80nm-SiO2) and particle volume fraction was 5.0 vol% used for the inclusion. The tensile properties and fracture behavior of T1000GB/K13D nanoparticle filled and unfilled hybrid composites have been investigated. For 25nm-C, 20-30nm-β-SiC and 80nm-SiO2 nanoparticle filled and unfilled hybrid composites, the tensile stress-strain curves show a complicated shape. By the high modulus pitch-based carbon fiber, the hybrid composites show the high modulus in the initial stage of loading. Subsequently, when the high modulus carbon fiber begin to fail, the high strength fiber would hold the load (strength) and the material continues to endure high load without instantaneous failure.

Glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin (GFRE) composites filled with aluminum nitride (AlN) powder were fabricated, and their thermal and electrical properties were investigated. It is observed that with the increasing percentage of AlN particles, there is a significant enhancement in thermal conductivity and micro-hardness, but there is a decline in tensile strength. Experimental results demonstrate that the GFRE composites with 10 wt% of AlN loading show maximum dielectric breakdown strength of 30.26 kV/mm with minimum volume resistivity of 7.5 × 10 14 Ω cm and thermal conductivity value of 0.300 W/mK. Scanning electron microscopy studies were conducted to observe the voids and distribution of filler in composites.

HNBR/short aramid fiber(DCAF)/fibrillar silicate(FS) composites were prepared by mechanical blending of in situ modified FS,DCAF and HNBR.The effects of the addition levels of DCAF and FS,and different lengths of DCAF on the structure and properties of the composites were investigated.The results showed that the moduli of the composites under both tension and compression conditions at small strain were increased by adding DCAF;the tensile properties and anisotropy of the composites could be improved when the length or addition levels of DCAF increased;the stress-strain behavior and compression modulus of the composites were improved significantly by adding FS.

A scalable processing method was used to fabricate graphite fiber composites with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the microstructures and properties of the fabricated laminates were investigated. SWCNTs were sprayed onto the surface of graphite/epoxy prepreg using an air spray. Interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests showed that the air spray processing had minimal effect on the quality of the laminates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies showed that SWCNTs are distributed uniformly in the plane of the laminate but not in the thickness direction due to low resin flow during cure. At high concentrations (>1.0 wt%), combination of a rather thick band of SWCNTs and low resin flow caused lack of resin inside of SWCNT bundles. The properties positively affected are in-plane shear strength, interlaminar fracture toughness (mode I), compressive strength, and electrical conductivity. Those properties showed improvement particularly when a lower concentration of SWCNTs was used. Fractography study using SEM showed altered crack propagation and crack bridging due to the presence of SWCNTs. The out-of-plane electrical conductivity was improved by 144% for 2 wt% SWCNT samples compared to samples without SWCNTs.
