Experimental Investigation on Fabrication and Optimization on Characteristics of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Jute Fiber Mat Graphene Reinforced Epoxy Based Hybrid Polymer Matrix Nanocomposites

Abstract

Today polymer composites are commonly used in various industrial applications from newlineday to day consumables to highly sophisticated equipment because of the advantages newlinethey have over conventional materials The reduction of an automobile s weight is newlinerequired to achieve minimal fuel consumption for the reduction in environmental newlinepollution produced by emissions This is an essential strategy for improving the newlinecompetitiveness of automobiles It has been discovered that using composite materials newlinerather than metals or metal alloys for motor vehicles has the potential to significantly newlinelower the cost and weight of automobiles newlineIt is feasible to reduce the total weight of vehicles which may help reduce the number of newlineresources boost economic efficiency and improve vehicle performance At the moment newlinethe most important technique to lower the weight of an automobile is to use polymer newlinecomposite materials rather than traditional materials, since polymer composite materials newlineare more lightweight newlineJute is used as reinforcement material in polymer composites due to its good flexural and newlinetensile characteristics jute-polymer composites are an excellent choice for use in interior newlinecar panel because it helps to prevent panels from bending while also ensuring that any newlineexcess impact load that passes through the panels does not reach the person using the car newlinein its entirety. It is not advised that jute composites be used as a straight replacement for newlinethe presently common mild steel panels it may be utilized as an interior body substitute newlinedue to high flexural properties newlineBecause jute fiber polymer materials have great moisture absorption qualities lower newlineimpact and hardness features than materials made of metal, the use of jute fiber polymer newlinecomposites in the automotive sector may significantly diminish the quality of vehicles newlinexviii newlineTo solve this issue graphene and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) may be used as newlinereinforcing materials in jute/epoxy composites It is known that graphene is one of the newlinetoughest and strongest known materials on earth an
