Abstract
Study of SWCNT Effect on Some Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Nanocomposites
Highlights
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many very unique properties such as [1]
The samples of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Epoxy polymer nanocomposites with different volume fraction ratios of SWCNTs (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, and 1.5%) using mixing method were prepared in order to examine and study some of their mechanical properties
Impact strength front different concentrations of SWCNTs in pure epoxy nanocomposites are illustrated in figure 1
Summary
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have many very unique properties such as (mechanical, optical, electrical and chemical stability) [1]. In order to make good preparation of CNT-reinforced epoxies or any other types of polymers, it needs to make good homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes and strong interaction with polymer matrix. One of these good dispersions is addition of solvents to thermoset resins. The samples of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Epoxy polymer nanocomposites with different volume fraction ratios of SWCNTs (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, and 1.5%) using mixing method were prepared in order to examine and study some of their mechanical properties (impact strength, hardness, creep). The volume fractions of SWCNTs to epoxy resin were (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, and 1.5%)
