Leading governments are making a number of decisions today to mitigate the challenges of climate change. Such a decision pushes manufacturers to achieve a reduction in fuel consumption in vehicles. Lightweight materials, including fiber reinforced composites, are one of the most promising materials that can be used to achieve this strategy. If the vehicle mass is calculated per 100 kg, one saves about 0.7 liters of fuel per 100 km (straight and indirect) & can thus make a great contribution to environmentally friendly issues and adopt the proposed strategy.
FRC is a thermoset plastic, fiber-reinforced and in many areas of technology as an alternative to widespread high-performance metals and alloys based on them. Fiberglass/epoxy laminates are mainly composed of layers of fibers (made of glass, carbon, etc.) assembled using epoxy resin to achieve better structural flexibility, mechanical properties, good chemical properties and electrical resistance!
To meet this huge demand, hybrid laminated composites were introduced. They consist of a multi-phase material, a polymer matrix and a reinforcing filler. In practice, carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc. are often used in such materials. CNTs ensure high mechanical strength of up to 42% more. Especially at lower concentrations in the range 0.05-0.4% by weight, CNT will bring positive results. Also, CNTs are more economical than graphene.
ENY tubes and dispersions (as well as MWCNT and SWCNT) have good stability and an enormous degree of dispersion!
