Comparison of proposed work with previously reported nano-fillers.
| Material | Maximum Dispersable Concentration | Synthesis Method | Mechanical & Chemical Properties |
Additional Functionality | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SiO2 | 2% | Hydrothermal synthesis | 20.61% in tensile strength, 23.71% in compressive strength, and 22.88% in impact strength were attained | NA | [2] |
| SiO2 | 2% | Hydrothermal | Improve the interfacial compatibility between reinforcement and matrix, 55% more tensile strength with 2 wt% doping | UV blocking, photostability | [40] |
| TiO2 | 0.5% | Hydrothermal synthesis | Improve mechanical performance under various stresses (storage modulus, loss modulus, tensile strength, and modulus) | - | [29] |
| TiO2 | 0.7% | Hydrothermal synthesis | The increase in tensile, flexural, impact, and interlaminar shear strength values were observed as 10.95%, 20.05%, 10.45%, and 18.80%, respectively. | The water diffusion coefficient was reduced by 31.66% | [28] |
| TiO2 | 4% | Room temperature synthesis | Two folds enhanced tensile strength and 66% higher elongation at break | Antibacterial activity was enhanced | This work |
