۳۲۶. Study on Microstructure and Ablation Properties of Graphene Oxide/Zirconium Diboride Nanoparticle/Carbon Fiber/Resol Nanocomposites

چکیده مقاله

The development of compatible additives for hot corrosion inhibition in high temperature application requires test methods which yield significant results on a short time scale. The present study aims at the evaluation of the effect of hot corrosion inhibiting model additives on the performance of an ablative phenolic resin using oxy-acetylene torch test which measure different properties. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) in combination with energy disperse Xray (EDX) are used. Two kinds of corrosion inhibiting additives are employed: an inorganic inhibitor based on graphene oxide sheets (GO); a ceramic nanoparticle (ZrB2) with inhibiting properties. The results obtained show that hot corrosion inhibiting additives drastically modify the ablation and thermal stability. The experimental approach described in this paper should be useful for additive development in carbon fiber/ phenolic composite because it yields a more durable product than can be obtained by neat composite of how a given additive affects the ablation performance in a hot corrosive environment.
