Abstract
The dynamic thermo-mechanical properties of two types of chemically surface modified (Carboxylated and Octadecylated) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and As produced MWCNTs reinforced epoxy matrix composites are investigated by Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyzer at 1.0 wt% concentration. Moreover, influence of MWCNTs concentration variations to the dynamic thermo-mechanical properties are evaluated at Carboxylated MWCNT reinforced polymeric composites (from 0.1 to 5.0 wt %). Higher interfacial bonding strength is achieved by introducing the chemical surface modification. Also MWCNTs reinforced polymer shows higher storage modulus (from 30°C to 70°C) than pure polymer. Moreover, the storage modulus of composites increases linearly by increasing MWCNTs concentration. However, glass transition temperature (Tg) of composites decreases linearly by increasing MWCNTs concentration.
