Erosion behaviour of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) reinforced epoxy composites

Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the manufacture and examination of tribological properties of epoxy composites reinforced with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanopowder. The composites had prepared with five different proportions of g-C3N4 nanopowder using a hand layup process. Comparison of tribological properties has made between the composites laid at different percentages of g-C3N4 in epoxy. The results showed the maximum erosion resistance of g-C3N4 particulate polymer matrix for 3% filler content. Also, by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the erosion morphology analysis is done on the internal structures of the specimen.
