Abstract

This paper analyses the influence of carbon filler content over the mechanical properties of vinyl ester nanocomposite. The carbon fillers used in this study were graphite and graphene nano sized particles in the following weight percentage: 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20. The mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, flexural stress and flexural strain were determined using three point bending tests.A significant enhancement of overall mechanical properties were achieved for some of the nanocomposite materials studied.

Keywords: mechanical properties; vinyl-ester nanocomposite; graphite; graphene; three point bending test
