Enhancement of Microstructural and Thermal Properties of Epoxy Polymer Composite by Introducing Graphene Oxide
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The goal of this study was to improve the microstructural and thermal performance of epoxy polymer composites by investigating the effects of different concentrations of graphene oxide (GO). By methodically changing the amount of GO in each sample specimens were created using the Composite Fabrication technique. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were among the analyses performed to assess the composites. The findings showed that the addition of graphene oxide greatly enhanced the composites thermal and microstructural characteristics. The composite sample that had 0. 8 weight percent GO had the best overall performance out of all the samples that were tested. This suggests that epoxy polymer composites can be effectively reinforced with graphene oxide to increase their stability functionality and durability. These improved qualities pave the way for numerous uses where high-performance composite materials are necessary.
