摘要

The present research investigated the multifunctional performance of vinyl ester composites reinforced with silane treated Cyperus platystylis stem fiber and silver oxide nanoparticles. Composites containing 50 vol% treated natural fiber and varying nanoparticle concentrations (0.5–3.5 vol%) were fabricated and systematically evaluated for their mechanical, dielectric, magnetic, thermal and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. The results indicated that silane treatment significantly improved fiber-matrix interfacial bonding which enhanced stress transfer and overall composite performance. Among the developed composites, the MPS1 composite containing 1.5 vol% silver oxide nanoparticles exhibited the optimum performance with a tensile strength of 154 MPa, flexural strength of 170 MPa, impact strength of 5 J and hardness of 86 shore D. In addition, the composite demonstrated improved dielectric permittivity (3.68) enhanced magnetic permeability and reduced thermal conductivity (0.33 W/mK) indicating better insulating capability. The EMI shielding effectiveness reached a maximum of 31.86 dB at 8 GHz and 63.74 dB at 18 GHz confirming strong electromagnetic wave attenuation due to enhanced interfacial polarization and conductive network formation. Overall, the synergistic effect of silane-treated natural fibers and optimally dispersed silver oxide nanoparticles significantly improved the multifunctional properties of the vinyl ester composites making them promising materials for advanced engineering and electromagnetic shielding applications.
