As many researchers are working on the GFRP composite with metal/alloy powder/particles as filler with different wt%. They are finding the Mechanical and Machinability property (drilling). My question is, What are the end applications of those Metal filled GFRP composite.
Researcher are used TiO2and ZnS Filled GFRP Composites, Iron Ore Filled GFRP Composites, and many more, But researchers have not mentioned end applications of those Composites...
Dear Manjunath,
Generally fillers are used in GFRP either for functionality or for property improvement. The applications are wide and to name few UV resistance, electrical conductivity, flame retardant, detection under X- radiation, etc. Additionally the mechanical properties and machinability could also be expected. So it is up to the design engineer to design the material according to the application.
There are tribological applications of such composites for high-loaded bearings. Metal phase allows increase the strength and wear resistance simultaneously. Functional (antifrictional) components may be introduced in these materials to obtain better result.
Dear Manjunath,
I have highlighted some applications of MMCs in my review article (its attached in my profile). you can have a look. Furthermore applications of such MMCs are from ground to space. you name it, and they'll be fit in high temperature engineering applications e.g. Automobile engine parts , Aerospace combustion parts, bicycle frames, industrial valves etc. usually improved tribological properties of MMCs give them an edge on other unreinforced materials.
best wishes,
Khurram
Dear Khurram,
I want to know the application of PMC with nano particles of metal...
Electroconductive path made of PMC filled by metal or metal alloys nanoparticles may be used in electronics as alternatives to solder interconnection.
