Synthesis and Characterization of Hybrid MWCNT-Alumina Filled Epoxy Nanocomposites

Abstract:

This paper presents the multi-scale hybridization of carbon nanotube (CNT) with microparticles in polymers which offers new opportunity to develop high performance multifunctional composites. The hybrid carbon nanotube-alumina (CNT-Al₂O₃) compound was synthesized via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) by direct growth of CNT on alumina particles. This hybrid CNT-Al₂O₃ compound was incorporated into the epoxy matrix at various filler loadings (i.e., 1–5%) and compared to physically mixed CNT-Al₂O₃. The CNT-Al₂O₃hybrid epoxy composites showed higher hardness compared to the CNT-Al₂O₃physically mixed epoxy composites. This enhancement was associated with the homogenous dispersion of CNT-Al₂O₃hybrid compound in the epoxy matrix.
