On the Relationship of Ni Volume Fraction in Polymer Matrix Composite to its Impact Property

Abstract:

Nickel as a ferromagnetic material has better damping characteristics and as a result, it can absorb more acoustic energy. Compared to existing ferromagnetic shape memory alloy, nickel is cheaper and might have similar damping characteristics. It has better corrosion resistant and heat resistant than other metals. In this study polymer matrix composite consisting polyester with metal (Nickel) particle reinforcement is considered. Polymer matrix is reinforced with the Nickel particle to improve its mechanical and damping properties. Different volume fraction of matrix and reinforcement are taken into consideration. Change in mechanical properties as a function of variable reinforcement has been analyzed in detail. Acoustic energy absorption of composite will be analyzed in the future.
