Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites

Incorporation of nanoparticles into polymer matrix was found to considerably improve the compressive performance of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. In our experimental study, an increase by 62.7% in the longitudinal compressive strength of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composites is attained by dispersing 8.7 vol.% SiO2 nanoparticles into epoxy matrix. A compressive strength model is established to quantitatively describe the reinforcing effects of nanoparticles, which combines a modified microbuckling model for unidirectional fiber reinforced composites and a constitutive model for nanocomposite matrices under compression. In the two models, the coupling of damage and plasticity is considered to contribute to the nonlinear response of nanocomposite matrix. The proposed strength model demonstrates excellent prediction capability in experimental verification. A small relative deviation below 8.2% is achieved between the predicted compressive strength of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites and the measured values, which is at the same level of random error in experiments.

Background: This era has seen outstanding achievements in materials science through the advances in natural fiber-based composites. The new environmentally friendly and sustainability concerns have imposed the chemists, biologists, researchers, engineers, and scientists to discover the engineering and structural applications of natural fiber reinforced composites. Objective: To present a comprehensive evaluation of information from 2000 to 2018 in United States patents in the field of natural fibers and their composite materials. Methods: The patent data have been taken from the external links of US patents such as IFI CLAIMS Patent Services, USPTO, USPTO Assignment, Espacenet, Global Dossier, and Discuss. Results: The present world scenario demands the usage of natural fibers from agricultural and forest byproducts as a reinforcement material for fiber reinforced composites. Natural fibers can be easily extracted from plants and animals. Recently natural fiber in nanoscale is preferred over micro and macro scale fibers due to its superior thermo-mechanical properties. However, the choice of macro, micro, and nanofibers depends on their applications. Conclusion: This document presents a comprehensive evaluation of information from 2000 to 2018 in United States patents in the field of natural fibers and their composite materials.
