TI  - A comparative study of the effect of polyurethane nanofiber and powders
filler on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber and glass fiber
composites
AB  - In this study, the polyurethane (PU) nanofibers mat produced by the
electrospinning method was used as filler in the polymer composites;
fiberglass (FG) and carbon fiber (CF) were employed as reinforcement
materials. Moreover, their mechanical properties were compared to
sepiolite and SiO2 powder reinforced composites. The mechanical
properties of composites were evaluated using tensile and flexural tests.
Moreover, the morphology of the composite was assessed by microscopy
techniques. The findings show that the nanofiber-doped FG and CF
composite had at least 30% higher tensile strength compared to
unreinforced and rival composites; the tensile strength was 135 MPa for
FG-Nanofibers and 134 MPa for CF-Nanofibers. On the other hand, the
flexural analysis showed that the powders filler had poor flexural stress
against untreated composite. However, the flexural strength of FGNanofibers and CF-Nanofibers reached 197 MPa and 553 MPa,
respectively. The better mechanical properties of nanofiber doped
composites were due principally to the random distribution of
nanofibers which support all loads from different directions. The crosssection analysis of composites demonstrated that the powders were
distributed heterogeneously and some agglomeration was observed at
some locations. Generally speaking, it can be concluded that the
addition of PU nanofibers increased the mechanical properties of
composites, and the tensile strength was at least 3 times higher for CF
composites compared to untreated composite.
