Thermogravimetric Analysis and Microwave Gain Determination of Graphite Filled Glass Fibre Epoxy for Nanosatellite Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
The demand for space research is increasing day to day. nano satellites play a vital role in space research. The materials used for space missions especially for satellites are challenging and many research have been concentrated in this area. The strength, thermos-gravity, lightweight, surface hardness, gain determination and the cost effectiveness are the few important properties that are expected by aerospace engineers. The faces of nano satellites exposed to the earth are made up of materials that can absorb microwaves of radar. An attempt is executed by adding graphite fillers to epoxy glass fibre composites and its stealth properties are determined through gain determination. The thermal strength of the said composite is also analysed.
