Investigating Fracture Toughness Behavior of CNT and GNP Reinforced Vinyl-Ester Resin by Altering Surface Characteristics of Nanoparticles

Gapstur C.M., Mahfuz H., Florida Atlantic University, US
In this paper, we compared the fracture toughness (KIC) and strain energy release rate (GIC) of three systems of hybrid nanocomposites by modifying surface characteristics of the carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) reinforcements. [...]

Effect of Dispersion Conditions on the Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Functionalized Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Vinyl Ester

Sabet S.M., Mahfuz H., Hashemi J., Florida Atlantic University, US
To date, controlling the microstructure of carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites remains a challenge due to high tendency of CNTs to aggregate. Proper dispersion of CNTs in the matrix has to be guaranteed to employ CNTs [...]

SC-15 Epoxy Reinforced with Magnetic Nanofillers under Uniform Magnetic Field – An Investigation of Anisotropic Physical Properties

Malkina O., Mahfuz H., Sorge K.D., Rondinone A.J., Chen J., Rangari V.K., Florida Atlantic University, US
SC-15 epoxy is used in many industrial applications. It is well known that the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of epoxy can be significantly enhanced when reinforced with nanofillers. In this work, SC-15 epoxy is reinforced [...]

The Effects of POSS on the Interlaminar Shear Strength of Marine Composites under Various Environmental Conditions

Mahfuz H., Powell F., Granata R., Hosur M., Florida Atlantic University, US
The fiber/matrix (F/M) interface of carbon/vinyl ester composites has been modified by treating the carbon fiber with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). The objective was to improve the durability of the F/M interface in various environments. [...]

Improvement of Stab Resistant Body Armor Using SiO2 Nanoparticles Dispersed into Silane Coupling Agent through Sonic Cavitation

Lambert V., Mahfuz H., Bordner P., Florida Atlantic University, US
Enhancing a flexible body armor using the Shear Thickening Fluid theory (STF) with use of SiO2 nanoparticles has shown good results regarding the stab resistance. A completely new approach based on investigations demonstrates that silated [...]

Development of Stab Resistant Body Armor using Fumed SiO2 Nanoparticles Dispersed into Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) through Sonic Cavitation

Mahfuz H., Clements F.E., Stewart J., Florida Atlantic University, US
Traditionally, the development of shear thickening fluid (STF) begins with micron size silica suspended in water. This material is transformed into STF through centrifugation and exchange processes. In other approaches polyethylene glycol (PEG) is added [...]
