| Abstract | Composite materials have been used since ancient civilizations when chopped straw was added to brick to form building materials. In the present era, the development of polymer composites has attracted a lot of attention from researchers because of their significantly improved properties as compared to intrinsic polymers or conventional composites. A polymer composite is a lightweight multiphase material developed by combining two or more dissimilar materials. They are combined in such a way that the resulting composite material possesses excellent superior properties (thermal, mechanical, and morphological) which are not achieved with a single constituent’s materials. These composite materials are supposed to replace the use of metals like iron, steel, copper, etc from various areas of society. Composite materials can be broadly classified into two categories natural and synthetic composite materials. Various advanced analytical techniques, including UTM, TGA, DSC, DMA, SEM, FTIR, and others, will be used to characterize the developed composites for their mechanical, thermal, structural, and morphological properties. In comparison to pure PEI, a significant enhancement was obtained at 2 wt% loading of HNTs in the PEI matrix, with about 8% enhancement in tensile stress, 4% modulus, 40% impact energy, and 43% izod impact strength. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) results of created composites demonstrate a 20°C increase in thermal stability with the addition of 2 wt% HNTs in the PEI matrix. Many outstanding properties of composites are achieved with the incorporation of nanofiller, so polymer composites and nanocomposites are used in many advanced applications such as aerospace, defense, drug delivery, computer field, solar cell, antistatic paint, railways, manufacturing industries, automotive, and wind energy, among others. |
