Abstract
Mechanical and thermal properties of polymer nanocomposites are studied for industrial applications, particularly in automotive and aerospace. Polymer composites with nanoscale fillers have improved mechanical strength, thermal stability, and conductivity. Mechanical properties were tested using tensile, impact, flexural, and fatigue, while thermal properties were measured using TGA and DSC. Composites with nanofillers like carbon nanotubes and metal oxide nanoparticles had improved tensile and impact resistance. High-performance applications require thermal stability and conductivity, which nanocomposites provided. The materials' reduced flammability made them suitable for aerospace applications. Overall, polymer nanocomposites outperform traditional polymers in mechanical and thermal properties. They improve fuel efficiency and sustainability in automotive and aerospace due to their lightweight and durability. Sustainable multifunctional nanocomposites for industrial use should be the focus of future research.
