Abstract

In this study, the
production, mechanical and thermal properties of hexagonal boron nitride
nanoparticles (hBNNPs) and different ratios (0.5, 1, and 1.5% by weight) of
nano silver (Ag) particles epoxy based nanocomposites were investigated.
Tensile specimens of epoxy based hybrid nanocomposites produced according to
ASTM D638-10 were subjected to tensile test under constant crosshead speed. The
maximum loads, tensile strengths, modulus of elasticity, toughness and
elongation values ​​of the modified epoxy hybrid nanocomposites were calculated
and these properties were compared with the reference sample. The reference
sample and 0.5% by weight of BNNPs and 1% by weight of nano Ag particles
reinforced nanocomposite the maximum loads were 1742.11 N and 2262.80 N
respectively, 0.5BNNP+1NanoAg epoxy based nanocomposite was observed increase
of 30%. The fracture surfaces of hybrid nanocomposites were examined by
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the damage mechanisms were revealed. In
addition, epoxy resin and BNNPs and nano Ag reinforced epoxy nanocomposites
glass transition temperature, melting temperature, thermal decomposition
temperature and mass loss, Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis
(TGA / DTA) were examined.

Hekzagonal Bor Nitrür Nanoplate-Nano Ag/Epoksi Kompozitler: Üretimi, Mekanik ve Termal Özellikleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ağırlıkça % 0.5 Hekzagonal Bor Nitrür
Nanoplateler (hBNNPs) ile ağırlıkça farklı oranlarda (% 0.5, 1 ve 1.5) nano
gümüş (Ag) parçacıklı epoksi bazlı nanokompozitlerin üretimi, mekanik ve termal
özellikleri araştırılmıştır. ASTM D638-10 standardına göre üretimi yapılan
epoksi esaslı hibrid nanokompozitlerin çekme numuneleri sabit yük altında çekme
testine tabi tutulmuştur. Modifiye edilmiş epoksi hibrid nanokompozitlerin
maksimum yükleri, çekme dayanımları, elastiklik modülleri, toklukları ve uzama
değerleri hesaplanmış olup, bu testin sonucunda bu özellikler referans
numuneyle kıyaslanmıştır. Referans numune ile ağırlıkça % 0.5 oranındaki BNNPs
ve ağırlıkça % 1 oranındaki nano Ag parçacık takviyeli nanokompozitin maksimum
yükleri sırasıyla 1742.11 N ve 2262.80 N olup, 0.5BNNP+1NanoAg epoksi esaslı
kompozit % 30 oranında artış gözlemlenmiştir. Hibrid nanokompozitlerin kırılmış
yüzeyleri taramalı elektron mikroskopu (SEM) ile incelenerek hasar
mekanizmaları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Ayrıca epoksi reçine ile BNNPs ve nano Ag
takviyeli epoksi nanokompozitlerin camsı geçiş sıcaklığı, ergime sıcaklığı,
termal bozunma sıcaklığı ve kütle kaybı, Termogravimetri ve Diferansiyel Termal
Analizleriyle (TGA/DTA) incelenmiştir.
