Effect of Nano-Fillers on the Mechanical and Fracture Behavior of Polymer Composite Matrices: A Review
Abstract: The modification of polymer composite matrices through the incorporation of nano-scale fillers has become a prominent and highly effective strategy for enhancing mechanical performance, stiffness, and fracture resistance. Unlike conventional micro-scale reinforcements, nano-fillers possess exceptionally high surface area–to–volume ratios and unique physicochemical characteristics that significantly influence interfacial phenomena within the polymer matrix. Materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), nano-silica, and layered silicate nanoclays, introduce advanced toughening mechanisms …

A Study of Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites with Filler Effect
Abstract: Considering their versatility, polymers sometimes lack the barrier properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability required for high-performance applications. The creation of polymer nanocomposites is an advanced solution to this restriction. To make these materials, nanoscale fillers like carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, and metal oxide nanoparticles are added to a polymer matrix in small amounts (typically 1–5% weight percentage). The nanoparticles’ incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio, as well as their …
