Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Nanocomposites Modified with Amine-Functionalized Graphene

Since the beginning of time, people have desired the best materials for production. Metals are often too heavy to be used in manufacturing. Polymer matrix composites (PMC) can be considered more dependable than metals in practical applications because of their high strength-to-weight ratio so it is a good alternative of metals. The article's objective is to investigate the various PMC properties that are reinforced with carbon fiber. CFRP (Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer) was first made using the hand layup method with carbon fiber as a reinforcement and epoxy resin as a matrix after a thorough literature review. As CFRP have higher stiffness and superior "strength-to-weight ratio," fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites perform notably better than various conventional metallic materials. The qualities of the matrix can be changed to enhance the characterization of FRP composites. The mechanical qualities of FRP composites have risen as a result of significant advancements in the application of nanoparticles for betterment of the matrix and various tests were conducted to calculate the properties of the composite.
