The objective of this study was to investigate the basic properties of composite materials that were made from epoxidized natural rubber and nanosilica to be used as blades for drones. Nanocomposite samples were prepared with 5% of epoxidized natural rubber and epoxy resin loaded with 3% nanosilica. Their resistance against accelerated weathering conditions as well as mechanical properties, including flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness, were evaluated. Based on the findings of this work, the impact strength of the samples decreased 13.33% and 33.33% as a result of exposing them to weathering by UV radiation for 168 h and 336 h, respectively. However, their tensile strength properties enhanced 35.71% and 19.05% for the above corresponding exposure time spars. Experimental composite samples that were made in this study would have great potential to be used as raw material for propeller blade for drones based on their properties evaluated within the scope of this work.
