reinforcing effect of cnts-tio2 hybrid on drop-weight impact properties of aramid fiber/epoxy composites

The effects of silanized multiwalled carbon nanoparticles and/or titanium dioxide loading (s-mwcnt and s-tio2) on the aramid fiber/ epoxy composites drop-weight impact response was examined. the nanofillers were functionalized with a silane coupling agent. the composites were created by adding 0.3 wt% s-mwcnt, 1 wt% s-tio2, and 0.3 wt% s-mwcnt + 1 wt% s-tio2 to the matrix. drop-weight impact was applied to the samples. the results showed that the sample filled with 0.3 wt% s-mwcnts + 1 wt% s-tio2 had greater impact response.
