Mechanical Properties of MWCNT Modified Syntactic Foams with High Volume Fraction of Glass Microspheres

Abstract:

The effect of multi-wall carbon nanotubes content on physico-mechanical properties of glass microspheres-epoxy resin syntactic foam was evaluated experimentally. Syntactic foam with high volume fraction of microspheres (70 vol%) was prepared and modified by 1 to 5 vol% of multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The compressive, flexural and impact strength tests were conducted, the load-displacement curves were captured. The quality of dispersion of nanoparticles was evaluated in relation to the mixing procedure using scanning electron microscope observation.
