Design, Fabrication and Mechanical Characterization of Composite Plate G.S. Divya, T. Vijay, P. Adarsh, K. Shekar, C.K. Prasanna, et al. International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems, 2026 The study examines the design, fabrication and analysis of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CF/Ep) composite plates enhanced with silicon carbide (SiC) microparticles. Composites with varying SiC content (0%, 5% and 10%) were produced using vacuum bagging and tested for density, hardness, impact strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. SiC addition increased the density and hardness, with maximum hardness at 10% SiC. However, impact strength decreased due to brittleness. Tensile strength and Young's modulus peaked at 3% SiC, while flexural strength was highest at 10% SiC, as confirmed by ANSYS 2024 R2 analysis of total deformation and normal elastic strain. These findings highlight the need for optimal SiC content to balance strength and toughness in CF/Ep composites.
Mechanical and Wear Studies of Boron Nitride-Reinforced Polymer Composites Developed via 3D Printing Technology Ramaiah Keshavamurthy, Vijay Tambrallimath, Swetha Patil, Ali Rajhi, Alaauldeen Duhduh, et al. Polymers, 2023 In the realm of 3D printing, polymers serve as fundamental materials offering versatility to cater to a diverse array of final product properties and tailored to the specific needs of the creator. Polymers, as the building blocks of 3D printing, inherently possess certain mechanical and wear properties that may fall short of ideal. To address this limitation, the practice of reinforcing polymer matrices with suitable materials has become a common approach. One such reinforcement material is boron nitride (BN), lauded for its remarkable mechanical attributes. The integration of BN as a reinforcing element has yielded substantial enhancements in the properties of polylactic acid (PLA). The central objective of this research endeavor is the development of polymer composites based on PLA and fortified with boron nitride. This study undertakes the comprehensive exploration of the compatibility and synergy between BN and PLA with a keen focus on examining their resultant properties. To facilitate this, various percentages of boron nitride were incorporated into the PLA matrix, specifically at 5% and 10% by weight. The compounding process involved the blending of PLA and boron nitride followed by the creation of composite filaments measuring 1.75 mm in diameter and optimized for 3D printing. Subsequently, test specimens were meticulously fabricated in adherence with ASTM standards to evaluate the ultimate tensile strength, dimensional accuracy, wear characteristics, and surface roughness. The findings from these assessments were systematically compared to the wear properties and mechanical behavior of PLA composites reinforced with boron nitride and the unreinforced PLA material. This study serves as a foundational resource that offers insights into the feasibility and methodologies of incorporating boron nitride into PLA matrices, paving the way for enhanced polymer composite development.
Effect of Short Glass Fiber Addition on Flexural and Impact Behavior of 3D Printed Polymer Composites Mohankumar H R, Maha Gundappa M. Benal, Pradeepkumar G S, Vijay Tambrallimath, Keshavamurthy Ramaiah, et al. ACS Omega, 2023 Fused deposition modeling (FDM), one of the most widely used additive manufacturing (AM) processes, is used for fabrication of 3D models from computer-aided design data using various materials for a wide scope of applications. The principle of FDM or, in general, AM plays an important role in minimizing the ill effects of manufacturing on the environment. Among the various available reinforcements, short glass fiber (SGF), one of the strong reinforcement materials available, is used as a reinforcement in the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) matrix. At the outset, very limited research has been carried out till date in the analysis of the impact and flexural strength of the SGF-reinforced ABS polymer composite developed by the FDM process. In this regard, the present research investigates the impact and flexural strength of SGF–ABS polymer composites by the addition of 15 and 30 wt % SGF to ABS. The tests were conducted as per ASTM standards. Increments in flexural and impact properties were observed with the addition of SGF to ABS. The increment of 42% in impact strength was noted for the addition of 15 wt % SGF and 54% increase with the addition of 30 wt % SGF. On similar lines, flexural properties also showed improved values of 44 and 59% for the addition of 15 and 30 wt % SGF to ABS. SGF addition greatly enhanced the properties of flexural and impact strength and has paved the path for the exploration of varied values of reinforcement into the matrix.
