Development and Characterization of Kevlar-Reinforced Ceramic Composite Materials

Abstract Fiber-fortified polymer composite material has become ubiquitous in recent years. It is exceptionally useful in various applications because it has good mechanical properties, is lightweight, has one of a kind adaptability, is safe if consumed, has a creation process that is simple, and so on, relative to other mundane materials. Polyaramid fiber known as Kevlar fiber is fundamentally well known for its expanding applications in mechanical and cutting edge innovations like ballistic defensive layer, helicopter edges, flying machine development, pneumatic fortification, and outdoor supplies. In this investigation, the mechanical (elasticity, sway quality, lengthening at break, E-modules) and physical (thickness, water assimilation) properties of the composites under different conditions, e.g., gamma irradiation and soil degradation, are shown and then contrasted with the properties under the ordinary condition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis examinations were used to portray the morphology, mechanical properties, and warm properties of Kevlar-strengthened earthenware composite materials. The results from SEM showed that the morphology in the created composite had fewer voids, gaps, and breaks. The nearness of O-H, C-H, C=O, and C-O ingestion tops showed the novel qualities of each example, which is affirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The trial result uncovered that all the mechanical properties are altogether high in Kevlar-fortified artistic composite at a lower level of filler material. Then again, rigidity is continuously expanded with the expansion of filler (up to 6.33 %) material in Kevlar-glass composite.
