Effect of Nanoclay on the Performance of Calotopis Gigantea Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites at Distinct Temperature
Abstract: Polymer-based nanocomposite is a developing subject that attracts many researchers due to its special qualities and versatility. Because the specific surface areas of nanofillers in nanocomposites are so high, it is much simpler to produce mechanical properties at the interface. Furthermore, a favorable interaction between the nanofillers and polymer matrix may manifest itself even at comparatively lower percentages of loading nanofillers. Thus, a smart, adaptive polymer nanocomposite material with the …
