Summary: In this research, the addition of 3% nanoclay in the epoxy resin was found to enhance the overall mechanical properties of glass-reinforced aluminum laminates, while more than 3% nanoclay resulted in a deterioration in mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates with nanoclay filler were compared to other fillers in previous studies, showing that nanoclay filler produced significantly better results.

Summary: In this study, two types of biobased epoxy composites were prepared using alkali-treated cotton waste and nanoclay as reinforcements. The composites were characterized and their properties were evaluated. The results showed that both alkali-treated cotton waste and nanoclay could enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the composites.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of seawater on the growth rate, morphology, and properties of ettringite (AFt). The results showed that in the absence of calcium hydroxide (CH), seawater formed Mg-Al-Cl layered double hydroxide (LDH), which accelerated the precipitation of AFt. However, the presence of CH led to the formation of brucite instead of LDH, resulting in no significant acceleration of AFt precipitation. Furthermore, the incorporation of Mg ions from seawater into the AFt structure caused an unstable structure and lower mechanical properties.

Summary: The effect of nanoclay on the mechanical properties of E-glass/epoxy composites was investigated. It was found that the shear strength, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity in the fiber direction, as well as the tensile strength in the transverse direction, decreased for all ratios. However, the Poisson's ratio increased at the ratios of 3 and 5 wt%, while the modulus of elasticity in the transverse direction increased at the ratio of 1 wt%. Additionally, the flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength increased at the ratio of 1 wt%.

Summary: Incorporating silanized nanoclay and compatibilized UHMWPE fibers in the composite laminate can significantly improve mechanical properties, especially impact strength. Optimized treatments can enhance the silanization of nanoclay and compatibilization of UHMWPE fibers, resulting in enhanced interfacial bonding among different constituents in the nanocomposite system.

Summary: The addition of nanoclay can improve the moisture barrier property of carbon/epoxy composites, leading to better mechanical and thermal performance in seawater. By adding 2% nanoclay, the composite shows reduced moisture absorption, decreased compressive strength and modulus, but still exhibits improved bonding properties compared to the base one after exposure to seawater.

Summary: The demand for structural materials with high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and environmental resistance has led to the consideration of fiber-reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) materials over traditional materials. Synthetic nanoparticle-reinforced FRPC materials have shown superior performance in various high-end applications. Incorporating nanoparticles, such as montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), in carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites improves the dynamic mechanical properties, particularly the glass transition temperature. The frequency sweep dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) test reveals that nanophased FRPCs have a higher storage modulus compared to unmodified samples, indicating their frequency-dependent properties.
