Abstract

This paper portrays the various combinations of nanomaterials and matrix materials which were used to fabricate the nanocomposite laminates with and without fiber. An in-depth analysis was made on the various ways of preparing the nano influenced matrix and composite panels. In addition to this, an effort has been made to afford an outline of the impact of nanofillers within the matrix from the results of numerous tests made with the laminated composites. Conjointly, a distinctive estimation has been made to elaborate the material details, processing steps and also the impact of the inclusion of nanofillers.
