Enhanced Physical Properties of TGS/GO-Infused Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Advanced Aerospace Applications

In this study, polyurethane nanocomposites filled with varying ratios of triglycine sulfate (TGS) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and evaluated for their potential use in aerospace applications. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to assess the thermal decomposition and stability of the nanocomposites. The key findings revealed that the inclusion of TGS and GO significantly enhanced the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and shape memory behavior of the nanocomposites. The sample with 1.5% TGS and 0.5% GO demonstrated the highest thermal stability, while the 1% TGS and 1% GO sample exhibited the fastest shape recovery time. These results highlight the potential of optimizing TGS and GO ratios for advanced aerospace materials, particularly in applications like satellite deployment.
