Abstract This research project delves into the strategic augmentation of composite laminates for aerospace and structural applications, recognizing the pivotal role of weight in material design. Employing intricate handloom weaving techniques and precision hand layer methods, three distinct composite laminates are crafted, each distinguished by varying concentrations of aluminum nanoparticles/nano oxides such as 1%, 3%, and 5%. Rigorous quasi-static loading protocols within a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) reveal a discernible enhancement in impact strength for the 3% nanoparticle composite laminate compared to counterparts with 1% and 5% nanoparticle concentrations. This improvement is attributed to the uniform nanoparticle dispersion and closely spaced fiber architecture within the laminate. Beyond the laboratory, this strategic integration of nanoparticles demonstrates promise in optimizing material properties, with potential applications in advanced technologies such as bulletproofing. This study, characterized by meticulous precision and scientific rigor, contributes nuanced insights to the field of composite material science.
