    Dynamic and Mechanical Properties of Nanoparticle Doped Aramid/Glass Fiber Reinforced Interply Hybrid Composites

    Sadik, Ayşegül Cansu; Karabudak, Filiz; Kula, Muhammed Emin

    In this study, the mechanical and dynamic properties of glass/aramid interply hybrid composites reinforced with four different nanoparticles were investigated. Firstly, matrix modification was performed and composite plates were manufactured by hand lay-up technique. Silicon dioxide (SiO2), graphene (GNP), silver (Ag) and cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles were added to the epoxy matrix as reinforcement. With the addition of nanoparticles, the highest tensile (16%) and flexural (67.3%) strengths were observed in Ag reinforced composites. Tensile (16.8%) and flexural (14.4%) strengths decreased with the addition of graphene nanoparticles. Tensile and flexural tests revealed delamination, matrix and fibre rupture in all plate types. As a result of modal analysis, the highest natural frequency values and the lowest damping ratios were determined in the FFBC boundary condition. The addition of nanoparticles improved the mechanical properties of the composites in general.

    Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Impregnated Chestnut Wood with Natural and Chemical Agent Exposed to Outdoor Conditions

    Yasar, Mehmet; Altunoiv, Mustafa

    Wood preservatives have been widely used to extend the service life of wood. The most objectionable environment for wood is outdoor conditions. In this study, test specimens prepared from chestnut wood (Castanea sativa Mill) were impregnated with natural and chemical impregnation agent. It was aimed to determine the effect of outdoor conditions on physical and mechanical properties of wood material by keeping them under these conditions for one year. As natural impregnation material pine tannin and acorn tannins, as chemical impregnation material imersol aqua and timbercare aqua were used. The retention amount, air-dried density, bending strength, modulus of elasticity, compression strength parallel to fibers, adhesion strength parallel to fibers, screw withdrawal strength were determined. As a result, it can be said that the physical and mechanical test values can compare wood impregnated with natural impregnation materials to wood impregnated with chemical impregnation materials after one year exposed to outdoor conditions.
