Material Characteristics of Fabricated Resin Carbon Nanotube Reinforced and Resin Glass Fiber Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites

Abstract:

Due to high mechanical strength, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are being considered as nanoscale fibres to enhance the performance of polymer composite materials. The two different types of composite reinforced polymers are fabricated with correct proportions with CNTs for better mechanical efficiency. Two types of CNT-based composites are resin carbon nanotube reinforced and resin glass fiber carbon nanotube reinforced. The reinforced CNT composite polymers are SEM, EDAX and XRD analysed for unified structural stability.
