| Description | Journal: Materials Research Express In this paper, different wt. % of alumina (Al2O3)–graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) were dispersed in the epoxy matrix to improve the compressive performance and thermal stability of epoxy nanocomposites. The Al2O3–GnP reinforced epoxy nanocomposites showed the significant improvement of 101% in compressive strength and 22% in compressive modulus corresponding to the combined loading of 2 wt.% of Al2O3 and 0.5 wt. % GnP sample as compared to the neat epoxy test coupons. The thermal stability of the composite samples were investigated by TGA and showed the appreciable improvement in the 10% loss degradation of temperature. This improvement was associated with the homogeneous dispersion of Al2O3–GnP in the epoxy resin through the sonication and ball milling process. |
