The effect of nanoparticles on enhancement of the specific mechanical properties of the composite structures: A review research

Ali Ghorbanpour Arani, Ashkan Farazin and Mehdi Mohammadimehr

Abstract

In this review, composite structures are used for many industries for at least four decades. Polymeric composites are one of the important structures in the aerospace and aviation industry because of their high strength and low weight. In this comprehensive review, mechanical behaviors, physical and mechanical properties of polymeric composites, different types of reinforcements, different methods to fabricate polymeric composites, historical structural composite materials for aviation and aerospace industries, and also different methods for the characterization are reported. How to use various methods of composite preparation using different nanofillers as reinforcements and its effect on the physical properties and mechanical behavior of composites are discussed as well.

Key Words

aerospace industry; reinforcement; composites structures; mechanical behavior; physical properties
