Overview

Experimental investigation reveals optimal MWCNT concentration improves mechanical properties in UAV composites, indicating enhanced performance.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effects of MWCNTs on the mechanical properties of GFRP and CFRP composites for UAV applications.
  • Experimental characterization of tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear strength
  • Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
  • Comparison of GFRP/CFRP composites with 0.5 and 1.0 wt% MWCNTs
  • CFRP with 1.0 wt% MWCNTs achieved 289 MPa tensile strength, a 9.5% improvement over 0.5 wt%
  • 0.5 wt% CFRP performed better in flexural and ILSS strength, with increases of 8.8% and 13.6% respectively
  • Similar trends were observed in GFRP, where 0.5 wt% MWCNTs showed superior flexural and ILSS characteristics compared to 1.0 wt%
  • SEM analysis indicated better fiber-matrix adhesion and uniform dispersion in 0.5 wt% samples.
