Additive Effect of Low-Dimensional Powder Filler in Development of Resinous Composite Materials

Abstract

In the Paris Agreement and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), the goal to establish a sustainable society was adopted. From this background, resin-based composite materials with light weight property have an attention. In particular, the composite materials having light weight property are important for various industrial fields such as information, electricity, transportation, welfare medical, robots, sports and so on. On the other hand, resin materials (plastics) have low functionality and mechanical properties compared to ceramic and metal materials. In the development of composite materials, powder as a filler plays a large role in the improvement of material properties. Therefore, R & D on the improvement of functional and mechanical properties, and formability have been actively carried out. In this paper, the effect of low dimensional filler addition on improvement of functional properties and formability of composite materials will be introduced. In order to improve the functional properties and formability of composite materials, two-dimensional h-BN filler with high aspect ratio was prepared by mechanical powder processing. Addition of the developed h-BN filler led to improvement of the functionality and formability on the composite at low filler loading.
