Abstract
In this study, effects of functionalization of graphene based epoxy nanocomposites were analyzed. Epoxy composites filled with both amine functionalized graphene (NH2-f-Gr) and epoxy (LY556) were fabricated at different filler loading levels. The NH2-f-Gr loading employed in the nanocomposites were 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt%. Moreover, through mechanical testing was found that functionalized nanocomposites shows better mechanical properties as compared to pure epoxy nanocomposites. The tensile test indicates that the NH2-f-Gr epoxy nanocomposites showed higher Young’s modulus and tensile strength than the pure epoxy composites. However, as the loading of NH2-f-Gr increases the Young’s modulus and strength of nanocomposites also increases.
