摘要

A widely used commodity thermoplastic namely Polypropylene (PP) which is a polyolefin family having good mechanical properties, low cost, light weight etc. One of the limitations of Polypropylene is its moderate tensile strength and low impact strength, which can be enhanced by incorporating fillers like Graphene (G) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) respectively. Many of the polymers fail due to sudden impact load. However, the impact strength of the polymers can be improved by adding the appropriate nanomaterials in it. This study emphases on the impact analysis of PP + G + hBN nanocomposites for automotive bumper applications, aiming to enhance vehicle safety, durability, and performance. The finite element method (FEM) is employed for assessing explicit dynamic behaviour, deformation characteristics and von-Mises stress. This analysis underscores the potential of nanotechnology in revolutionizing through innovative material design by examining impact behaviour of PP nanocomposites using ANSYS simulation.
